Third Party Analyses of this Dataset

TCIA encourages the community to publish your analyses of our datasets. Below is a list of such third party analyses published using this Collection:

Detailed Description

•  the "challenge test set dataset" is sequestered on synapse.org as a tarball of nii & seg & age & diagnosis. Please see their the synapse website for more detail.

The data used in BraTS Challenges often have some overlap with other TCIA Collections, cases, and series. Some filters for handling these, so that you can work with statistically not-duplicated images, include these below:

• Manifests of case identifiers between BraTS and TCIA : BraTS2021_MappingToTCIA.xlsx
• Spreadsheet list of cases and series used in prior year BraTS Challenges may also refer to these:
  • Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge 2018 (BraTS)
  • Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge 2019
  • Segmentation Labels and Radiomic Features for the Pre-operative Scans of the TCGA-GBM collection (BraTS-TCGA-GBM)
  • Segmentation Labels and Radiomic Features for the Pre-operative Scans of the TCGA-LGG collection (BraTS-TCGA-LGG)
• Spreadsheet list of new (DICOM and NIFTI) series files with no TCIA DICOM equivalent: 

•  Here are some data splits that you might find useful. Manifest of (DICOM and NIFTI) files sourced from other TCIA Collections, so you can avoid superset accidental duplication in case you want everything TCIA has, after you've gotten all of BRaTS data

  
  

Notes about Image Registration:

• Transformation matrices DICOM to NIfTI are not available.
• Segmentation task image volume have been set to x=y=240 voxels by z=155 voxels.
• All Radiogenomics Classifier task files are restored to original DICOM resolution & orientation (thus volume may vary).
