Viewing data in BigQuery
After you export a cohort manifest to BigQuery, you can view IDC data in BigQuery as a BQ table. An example query follows that returns all studies for the collection QIN_HEADNECK.
SELECT PatientID, StudyInstanceUID
FROM `canceridc-data.idc_current.dicom_all`
WHERE collection_id = 'qin_headneck'
GROUP BY PatientID, StudyInstanceUID
