Project Summary

...

The Cancer Imaging Program (CIP) with the cooperation of several of the TCGA GBM tissue-contributing institutions has archived a large portion of the pre-surgical diagnostic MRIs radiological images of the genetically-analyzed cases. That Clinical, genetic, and pathological data resides in the TCGA data portal. These images, using their TCGA identifier tags allow researchers to explore the genomic, clinical, and pathological data being stored within the TCGA Data Portal. These data sets therefore permit a link between clinical phenotype and tissue genotype. Although the present image archive has for the moment only acquired GBM case images, over time images from new TCGA collections arising from other TCGA studied tumor types will be collected.

These images were also utilized as part of the caBIG TCGA Enterprise Use Case project. This caBIG enterprise use case involves loading the TCGA images stored in NBIA into 3 different workstations that are being developed with annotation and markup capabilities based on Annotation Imaging Markup (AIM).

while the radiological data is stored within TCIA. The data utilizes the same TCGA patient identifiers in both repositories, allowing researchers to explore the correlations between tissue genotype and radiological phenotype.
