# NCI Cloud Resources [NCI Cloud Resources](https://datacommons.cancer.gov/analytical-tools) are components of the [NCI Cancer Research Data Commons](https://datacommons.cancer.gov/) that bring data and computational power together to enable cancer research and discovery. Our current experience in using NCI Cloud Resources for cancer image analysis is summarized in the following preprint: > Thiriveedhi, V. K., Krishnaswamy, D., Clunie, D., Pieper, S., Kikinis, R. & Fedorov, A. Cloud-based large-scale curation of medical imaging data using AI segmentation. *Research Square* (2024). doi:[10.21203/rs.3.rs-4351526/v1](https://dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4351526/v1) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://learn.canceridc.dev/cookbook/nci-data-commons-cloud-resources.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
