Imaging Data Commons

Welcome to the official GitHub organization for the Imaging Data Commons!

About IDC

The National Cancer Institute Imaging Data Commons (IDC) is a cloud-based repository of publicly available cancer imaging data, co-located with analysis and exploration tools. As part of the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC), IDC provides researchers with:

  • Access to >85 TB of cancer imaging data, including radiology, brightfield, and fluorescence microscopy images
  • Image-derived data such as annotations, segmentations, and quantitative measurements
  • Accompanying clinical data
  • Cloud-based infrastructure for data exploration and analysis

Key Features

  • Free and open access: No registration or access requests required
  • Commercial-friendly licensing: >95% of data covered by CC-BY license
  • Cloud-based: Data available from both Google and AWS public buckets
  • Standardized data: All images and derived data harmonized into DICOM format

Repositories

Our GitHub organization hosts various repositories to support IDC users:

  • IDC-Tutorials: Self-guided notebook tutorials to help you get started with IDC
  • idc-index: python package for searching, downloading, and simplifying access to the data in IDC
  • SlicerIDCBrowser: 3D Slicer extension providing access to IDC data

We are also maintianing a number of repositories containing popular tools that we use in IDC, but which are of general utility:

  • highdicom: high-level DICOM abstractions for the Python programming language
  • Slim: interoperable web-based DICOM slide microscopy viewer and annotation tool
  • dicom-microscopy-viewer: Web-based DICOM slide microscopy viewer library
  • dicomweb-client: python client for DICOMweb RESTful services
  • libdicom: C library for reading DICOM files
  • s5cmd-python-distributions: package that allows you to install s5cmd command line tools with pip
