Each Collection TCIA publishes is issued a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) through DataCite.  This   The DataCite Commons is a web search interface for the PID Graph, the graph formed by the collection of scholarly resources such as publications, datasets, people and research organizations, and their connections. 

The DataCite REST API can be used to programmatically access Collection metadata such as their DOIs, titles and abstracts.  Please note that this API was not developed by TCIA. See https://support.datacite.org/ for any technical questions.  The TCIA Helpdesk may be able to assist if your inquiry is related to the content of the data itself.
