NCI Imaging Data Commons

OVERVIEW

NCI Imaging Data Commons (IDC) (https://imaging.datacommons.cancer.gov/) a cloud-based environment containing publicly available cancer imaging data co-located with analysis and exploration tools and resources. IDC is a node within the broader NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) (https://datacommons.cancer.gov) infrastructure that provides secure access to a large, comprehensive, and expanding collection of cancer research data.

IDC contains over 60 TB of publicly available images (radiology, digital pathology and fluorescence imaging) and image-derived (such as segmentations and analysis results) data in DICOM format. All of the data in IDC is available for download without registration or login. Most of the data is available under the commercial friendly CC-BY license. IDC data is continuously enriched with annotations: release v18 included TotalSegmentator segmentations and radiomics features for >125,000 CT series from the NLST collection!

IDC maintains various tools to support exploration, search and analysis of the data. OHIF Viewer is one such key that enables visualization of radiology images and image-derived data. IDC team is actively contributing features and bug fixes to the OHIF Viewer based on the needs of the project and datasets, and are contributing all of those back for the benefit of the broader community.

QUOTE

"There are several features of OHIF Viewer that motivated its selection for IDC. Open source makes it possible for us to directly contribute to the development of the priority features. DICOM-centric implementation supports our data representation and enables interoperability with commercial components. Strong and responsive developer team sums it up!"
