Project Summary

To view TCGA MRIs and download their DICOM files go to the NBIA website and search the collection named: TCGA

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 images, over time, images from new TCGA-studied tumor types will be acquired and made available on the public NBIA archive.

These images ware part of the caBIG TCGA Enterprise Use-Case project. This caBIG enterprise use-case enables TCGA images stored in NBIA to be displayed on three different free-access PACS workstations that possess 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.
