The Lung Image Database Consortium image collection (LIDC-IDRI) |
...
consists of diagnostic and lung cancer screening thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans with marked-up annotated lesions. It is a web-accessible international resource for development, training, and evaluation of computer-assisted diagnostic (CAD) methods for lung cancer detection and diagnosis |

- Navigate to https://cancerimagingarchive.net
- Request a user account if you don't already have one.
- Click the "Search Images" link in the center of the page
- Scroll down through the search criteria until you see the "Collections" section
- Select the "LIDC" check box
- Press "Submit"
This will return the full list of cases included in the collection. To download the associated DICOM images:
- Press the "Check All" button and then "Add to Basket"
- Press the "View My Basket" button at the bottom of the page (or "View Contents" in the left menu bar)
- Press the "Download Manager" button to open a Java applet and specify where you'd like to save your images
. Initiated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), further advanced by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), and accompanied by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through active participation, this public-private partnership demonstrates the success of a consortium founded on a consensus-based process. |
Seven academic centers and eight medical imaging companies collaborated to create this data set which contains 1018 cases. Each subject includes images from a clinical thoracic CT scan and an associated XML file that records the results of a two-phase image annotation process performed by four experienced thoracic radiologists. In the initial blinded-read phase, each radiologist independently reviewed each CT scan and marked lesions belonging to one of three categories ("nodule > or =3 mm," "nodule <3 mm," and "non-nodule > or =3 mm"). In the subsequent unblinded-read phase, each radiologist independently reviewed their own marks along with the anonymized marks of the three other radiologists to render a final opinion. The goal of this process was to identify as completely as possible all lung nodules in each CT scan without requiring forced consensus.
Note : The TCIA team strongly encourages users to review pylidc and the DICOM representation of the annotations/segmentations included in this dataset before developing custom tools to analyze the XML version.

AIM Annotation Conversion Project
As part of an effort to move towards standard formats for annotation and markup a project has been undertaken to convert this data from the LIDC project into Annotated Image Markup format (AIM). AIM is a standard which was developed out of the caBIG program. A related section of the wiki has been dedicated to covering the activities of this project and can be found here: LIDC Conversion to AIM
