Introduction

Check out the IDC Getting started tutorial for a quick introduction into data organization and main features of our repository!

IDC data is replicated as a public dataset in the Google Marketplace. You can see the summary dashboard of the dataset here.

Currently, IDC is hosting data from the following data repositories:

• publicly available radiology collections and analysis results collections (in DICOM format) from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA)

• whole slide pathology images (in DICOM-TIFF format) collected by

  • The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)

  • Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC)

  • National Lung Screening Trial (NLST)

• fluorescence images (in DICOM-TIFF format) collected by the Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN)

If you would like us to prioritize an existing public collection, which is not currently included in the IDC offering, please start the discussion on our forum!

Check out Data release notes for information about the collections added in the individual IDC data releases.

In the following pages we discuss how to access datasets hosted by IDC and their organization.
