The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) is a service that anonymizes and maintains a vast publicly accessible collection of medical images related to cancer. Funded by the Cancer Imaging Program (CIP), which is part of the United States National Cancer Institute (NCI), TCIA is operated by the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR).
The imaging data is categorized into “collections” based on shared characteristics such as disease type (e.g., lung cancer), imaging modality (MRI, CT, digital histopathology, etc.), or specific research objectives. TCIA primarily uses the DICOM file format for radiological images. Additionally, there is a strong focus on providing supplementary data associated with the images, including patient outcomes, treatment information, genomic data, and expert analyses.
