New clinical metadata tables

v14 - May 2023

This release does not introduce any new data, but changes the bucket organization and introduces replication of IDC files in Amazon AWS storage buckets, as described in this section.

v13 - Mar 2023

New analysis results collection:

New clinical data collections:

v12 - Nov 2022

New collections:

Updated collections:

Other:

Metadata corresponding to "limited" access collections are removed.

New clinical data collections:

Other clinical data updates:

Limited access collections are removed. Clinical metadata for the COVID-19-NY-SUB and ACRIN 6698/I-SPY2 Breast DWI collections now includes information ingested from data dictionaries associated with these collections. In v11 the string value 'NA' was being changed to null during the ETL process for some columns/collections. This is now fixed in v12 and the value 'NA' is preserved.

v11 - Sept 2022

This release introduces clinical data ingested for a subset of collections, and now available via a dedicated BigQuery dataset.

New collections:

v10 - Aug 2022

In this release we introduce a new HTAN program including currently three collections release by the Human Tumor Atlas Network.

New collections:

Updated collections:

CPTAC, TCGA and NLST collections have been reconverted due to a technical issue identified with a subset of images included in v9.

  1. TCGA-DLBC

Note that the TCGA-KIRP and TCGA-BRCA collections (marked with the asterisk in the list above) are currently missing SM high resolution layer files/instances due to a known limitation of Google Healthcare that makes it not possible to ingest datasets that exceed some internal limits. Specifically, the following patient/studies are affected:

  • TCGA-KIRP: PatientID TCGA-5P-A9KA, StudyInstanceUID 2.25.191236165605958868867890945341011875563

  • TCGA-BRCA: PatientID TCGA-OL-A66H, StudyInstanceUID 2.25.82800314486527687800038836287574075736 The affected files will be included in IDC when the infrastructure limitation is addressed.

Collection access level change:

  1. Vestibular-Schwannoma-SEG is now available as public access collection

v9 - May 2022

This data release introduces the concept of differential license to IDC: some of the collections maintained by IDC contain items that have different licenses. As an example, radiology component of the TCGA-GBM collection is covered by the TCIA limited access license, and is not available in IDC, while the digital pathology component is covered by CC-BY. With this release, we complete sharing in full of the digital pathology component of the datasets released by the CPTAC and TCGA programs.

New collections:

Updated collections:

v8 - April 2022

The main highlight of this release is the addition of the NLST and TCGA Slide Microscopy imaging data. New TCGA content includes introduction of new (to IDC) TCGA collections that have only slide microscopy component, and addition of the slide microscopy component to those IDC collections that were available earlier and included only the radiology component.

New collections

  1. TCGA-DLBC (TCGA-DLBC collection does not have a description page)

Updated collections

v7 - February 2022

The main highlight of this release is the addition of the Slide Microscopy imaging component to the remaining CPTAC collections.

New collections

Updated collections

v6 - January 2022

The following collections became limited access due to the change in policy by TCIA, which is the original source of those collections.

Original collections:

Analysis results collections:

v5 - December 2021

New collections:

New analysis results collections:

  • Outcome Prediction in Patients with Glioblastoma by Using Imaging, Clinical, and Genomic Biomarkers: Focus on the Nonenhancing Component of the Tumor (GBM-MR-NER-Outcomes)

  • DICOM-SEG Conversions for TCGA-LGG and TCGA-GBM Segmentation Datasets (DICOM-Glioma-SEG)

Updated collections:

v4 - September 2021

National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) collection is added. The data included consists of the following components:

1) CT images available as any other imaging collection (via IDC Portal, BigQuery metadata tables, and storage buckets);

2) a subset of clinical data available in the BigQuery tables starting with nlst_ under the idc_v4 dataset, as documented in the Collection-specific BigQuery Tables section.

3) One instance is missing from patient/study/series: 126153/1.2.840.113654.2.55.319335498043274792486636919135185299851/1.2.840.113654.2.55.262421043240525317038356381369289737801

v3 - August 2021

The following radiology collections were updated to include DICOM Slide Microscopy (SM) images converted from the original vendor-specific representation into dual personality DICOM-TIFF format.

The DICOM Slide Microscopy (SM) images included in the collections above in IDC are not available in TCIA. TCIA only includes images in the vendor-specific SVS format!

v2 - June 2021

Listed below are all of the original and analysis results collections of The Cancer Imaging Archive currently hosted by IDC, with the links to the Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) of those collections.

New analysis results collections:

v1 - October 2020

Listed below are all of the original and analysis results collections of The Cancer Imaging Archive currently hosted by IDC, with the links to the Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) of those collections.

Original collections included:

Analysis collections included:

  1. QIN multi-site collection of Lung CT data with Nodule Segmentations (only items corresponding to the LIDC-IDRI original collection are included)

  2. DICOM SR of clinical data and measurement for breast cancer collections to TCIA (only items corresponding to the ISPY1 original collection are included)
