Excerpt

This collection contains images from 422 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. For these patients pretreatment CT scans, manual delineation by a radiation oncologist of the 3D volume of the gross tumor volume and clinical outcome data are available. This dataset refers to the Lung1 dataset of the study published in Nature Communications.


In short, this publication applies a radiomic approach to computed tomography data of 1,019 patients with lung or head-and-neck cancer. Radiomics refers to the comprehensive quantification of tumour phenotypes by applying a large number of quantitative image features. In present analysis 440 features quantifying tumour image intensity, shape and texture, were extracted.  We found that a large number of radiomic features have prognostic power in independent data sets, many of which were not identified as significant before. Radiogenomics analysis revealed that a prognostic radiomic signature, capturing intra-tumour heterogeneity, was associated with underlying gene-expression patterns. These data suggest that radiomics identifies a general prognostic phenotype existing in both lung and head-and-neck cancer. This may have a clinical impact as imaging is routinely used in clinical practice, providing an unprecedented opportunity to improve decision-support in cancer treatment at low cost. The DICOM Radiotherapy Structure Sets (RTSTRUCT) and DICOM Segmentation (SEG) files in this data contain a manual delineation by a radiation oncologist of the 3D volume of the primary gross tumor volume ("GTV-1") and selected anatomical structures (i.e., lung, heart and esophagus). Of note, DICOM SEG objects contain a subset of annotations available in RTSTRUCT.

The dataset described here (Lung1) was used to build a prognostic radiomic signature. The Lung3 dataset used to investigate the association of radiomic imaging features with gene-expression profiles consisting of 89 NSCLC CT scans with outcome data can be found here: NSCLC-Radiomics-Genomics.

Radiation Oncologist Tumor Segmentations


The DICOM Radiotherapy Structure Sets (RTSTRUCT) and DICOM Segmentation (SEG) files in this data contain a manual delineation by a radiation oncologist of the 3D volume of the primary gross tumor volume ("GTV-1") and selected anatomical structures (i.e., lung, heart and esophagus)
. Of note, DICOM SEG objects contain a subset of annotations available in RTSTRUCT.

For viewing quickly we recommend 
Dicompyler (http://www.dicompyler.com/) which is the annotations the authors recommend 3D Slicer that can be used to view both RTSTRUCT and SEG annotations (make sure you install the SlicerRT and QuantitativeReporting extensions first!). Visualization of the DICOM annotations is also supported by the OHIF Viewer.

Other tools include:

  • Dicompyler is an open source, cross-platform DICOM RT viewer.
  Slicer has a SlicerRT module (http://slicerrt.github.io/index.html) which enables use of this kind of data.  The
  • The 
(https://github.com/dicom/rtkit
  • dcmqi and Plastimatch libraries can be used to support conversion of the DICOM SEG and RTSTRUCT representations, respectively, into the popular research formats, such as NIfTI or NRRD
)
  • .

Please note that survival time is measured in days from start of treatment. DICOM patients names are identical in TCIA and clinical data file.

  • RTSTRUCT and SEG study instance UID changed to match study instance uid with associated CT image.
  • Added missing structures in SEG files to match associated RTSTRUCTs.
  • Patient Id copied to Patient Name in CT images (for consistency).
  • Added 1 missing image for LUNG1-246.

  • Re-checked and updated the RTSTRUCT files to amend issues in the previous submission due to missing RTSTRUCTS or regions of interest that were not vertically aligned with the patient image.
  • In 4 cases (LUNG1-083,LUNG1-095,LUNG1-137,LUNG1-246) re-submitted the correct CT images.
  • The regions of interest now include the primary lung tumor labelled as “GTV-1”, as well as organs at risk.
  • For one case (LUNG1-128) the subject does not have GTV-1 because it was actually a post-operative case; we retained the CT scan here for completeness.
  • Added DICOM SEGMENTATION objects to the collection, which makes it easier to search and retrieve the GTV-1 binary mask for re-use in quantitative imaging research.
  • Clinical data updated as follow-up time has been extended.

Version 2: Updated 2016/05/31 (version 2 removed as RTSTRUCTs or regions of interest were not vertically aligned with patient images. See version 3 for updated files).
