Downloading data
IDC supports a variety of interfaces for fetching individual images, cohorts (groups of images), or portions of images, using desktop application, command-line interface, or programmatic API. These interfaces are covered in the subsequent pages. You should select the specific approach to accessing IDC data depending on your requirements.
idc-index interface: command-line and Python API interface to download images corresponding to the specific patient/study/series, or a cohort defined by a manifest
3D Slicer interface: desktop application to download images corresponding to the specific patient/study/series, or a cohort defined by a manifest
s5cmd: command-line interface to download images for a cohort defined by a manifest (unlike
idc-index
, does not organize downloaded images into folders corresponding to IDC data model hierarchy)DICOMweb interface: REST API interface to access both metadata and pixel data at the granularity of image frames/tiles
Directly loading DICOM objects from Google Cloud or AWS in Python: Python API interface to access both metadata and pixel data at the granularity of image frames/tiles
