Search Results Overview
In reviewing search results, it is important to review the hierarchy of submissions in TCIANBIA.
Collection > Patient (Subject) > Study > Series > Images |
A Simple Search, Text Search, and Advanced Search each orders search results by Subject ID on the Search Results (by Subject) page. Clicking that Subject ID displays the studies and image series matching the search criteria for that subject. For more information, see 3 - Working with Images in TCIA NBIA 6.5.3.1.
You can view images associated with studies for the selected subject in various ways, including:
- viewing all study images in a DICOM web viewer,
- viewing thumbnails of all study images on the 3 - Working with Images in TCIA NBIA 6.5.3.1 page
- viewing selected images in your desktop DICOM viewer,
- viewing all study images in a cine loop,
- or viewing the DICOM header of the first image in the series.
...
When you download a series that has annotation files (indicated by Yes in the Contains Annotations column), they are automatically downloaded as well.

Obtaining DICOM Viewers
Most image data and some associated data within The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) NBIA is stored in DICOM format. There are a variety of both open source and commercial DICOM tools that could be used to manipulate and view these files. While TCIA NBIA does not endorse nor recommend any particular tool, here is a list of tools that we or our partners have used in our daily work. More information about DICOM is available.
