When you have very specific search needs that the search filters and text search do not satisfy, but the information exists in the TCIA database, you have two options for specific searches. 

Search the data portal

Run a search in the TCIA Radiology Portal. Add all of your search results to the cart. Sort your cart by number of images, or any other field you are interested in that appears in the search result. Remove the series you don't want by clicking the series' cart icon. Download the cart.

Build your own manifest The other way is to export the spreadsheet, sort it by number of images, and then put the series ID from the spreadsheet into the manifest file.file

Run a search in the TCIA Radiology Portal. When you get to the cart, click Export Spreadsheet. Sort the spreadsheet by number of images, or any other field you are interested in that appears in the spreadsheet. Select only those series IDs that meet your search criteria. Copy those IDs into a manifest file using its standard structure.
