How-to For Access to Limited Collections ("collection contains images that could potentially be used to reconstruct a human face.")

Access is limited to those collections that contain images that could potentially be used to reconstruct a human face, for the following Collections:

Follow this guide in order to smoothly request, and be granted, access.

Step-by-step guide

1. First, Identify the Collection shortname and DOI that you'd like to request. Most likely, one of these:
   
   NOTE: Head-Neck-Radiomics-HN1 requires a different Agreement here: TCIA No Commercial Use Limited Access License 
   
   or 
   (Note:  you can combine requests for  1 or more Collections from this table on one Agreement): 

   ACRIN-DSC-MR-Brain (ACRIN 6677/RTOG 0625) ACRIN-FMISO-Brain (ACRIN 6684) ACRIN-HNSCC-FDG-PET/CT (ACRIN 6685) QIN-BRAIN-DSC-MRI QIN GBM Treatment Response QIN-HeadNeck Meningioma-SEG-CLASS Burdenko-GBM-Progression RHUH-GBM GammaKnife-Hippocampal Head-Neck Cetuximab (RTOG 0522)	Most imaging in these collections are covered by Creative Commons usage licenses but selected images are protected: CMB-AML  CMB-CRC CMB-GEC CMB-LCA CMB-MEL CPTAC-LSCC BraTS-Africa (Limited portion)	Challenge datasets AAPM RT-MAC Grand Challenge 2019 FDG-PET-CT-Lesions  BraTS-Africa (Limited portion) BraTS-TCGA-GBM ask for both BraTS-TCGA-GBM and TCGA-GBM on your form for access to the DICOM portion. For access to the NIfTI test-set email TCIA support. BraTS-TCGA-LGG ask for both BraTS-TCGA-LGG and TCGA-LGG on your form for access to the DICOM portion. For access to the NIfTI test-set email TCIA support.
   HNSCC and the distinct research arms Head-Neck-CT-Atlas requests will need you to request access to Head-Neck-CT-Atlas AND HNSCC Oropharyngeal-Radiomics-Outcomes requests will need you to request access to "Radiomics outcome prediction in Oropharyngeal cancer" AND HNSCC IvyGAP IvyGAP-Radiomics requests will need you to request access to IvyGAP-Radiomics AND IvyGAP Brain-TR-GammaKnife please indicate on your Agreement whether you wish to request both DICOM and NRRD format files for this Collection, or DICOM-only, or NRRD-only.	Brain-Tumor-Progression Anti-PD-1_MELANOMA GLIS-RT Head-Neck-PET-CT HNSCC-3DCT-RT LDCT-and-Projection-data LGG-1p19qDeletion MRI-DIR OPC-Radiomics RADCURE REMBRANDT RIDER Neuro MRI CPTAC-GBM , CPTAC-HNSCC , TCGA-HNSC ,	TCGA-LGG TCGA-GBM , DICOM-Glioma-SEG requests will need you to request access to three Collections: DICOM-Glioma-SEG AND TCGA-GBM AND TCGA-LGG BraTS-TCGA-GBM requests will need you to request access to both BraTS-TCGA-GBM and TCGA-GBM for the DICOM portion BraTS-TCGA-LGG requests will need you to request access to both BraTS-TCGA-LGG and TCGA-LGG for the DICOM portion TCGA-LGG-Mask  requests will need you to request access to both TCGA-LGG-Mask and TCGA-LGG for the DICOM portion TCGA-GBM-Radiogenomics requests will need you to request access to both TCGA-GBM-Radiogenomics and TCGA-GBM for the DICOM portion TCGA-GBM-QI-Radiogenomics requests will need you to request access to both TCGA-GBM-QI-Radiogenomics and TCGA-GBM for the DICOM portion GBM-MR-NER-Outcomes requests will need you to request access to "GBM-MR-NER-Outcomes" AND TCGA-GBM DSC T2* MR Perfusion Analysis needs a form filled out but it's not obvious that it does!  If you want the source images and the subset that make up this analysis, request for TCGA-GBM.

2. Second, How do I obtain a TCIA username and password?
   1. Note, if you are having trouble with your account email, username, or password, a hint for options is here:  Cancer Imaging Archive Account Help
3. To complete this 
   Some data in this collection contains images that could potentially be used to reconstruct a human face. To safeguard the privacy of participants, users must sign and submit a TCIA Restricted License Agreement to help@cancerimagingarchive.net before accessing the data.
    
   1. Page 1: Requires your TCIA Account details
   2. Page 1: Requires the Collection Shortname and DOI (Note: , you can combine requests for 1 or more Collections from the above table, into the box on one Agreement)
   3. Next on page 4, YOUR organization's details are requested; note that on Page 3, UAMS contact address details are given. 
      1. ORGANIZATION ATTN
      2. ORGANIZATION NOTICE
      3. ADDRESS
      4. CITY/STATE/ZIP
      5. PHONE
      6. FAX
      7. EMAIL 
   4. Page 4: Your signature scanned or electronic are ok
   5. Page 4: Calendar Date you complete the form
   6. Page 5:  A brief description of your project is requested. 
      1. notes in the case of mention of collaborators on page 5
         1. one teacher CAN agree to cover their students, or usage by one investigator's subordinate lab members is ok

         2. This restricted access collection requires a separate license agreement on file for each collaborator that may be accessing the data. Please have each collaborator complete and sign a license agreement and then we can provide access to this data.

4. Save your COMPLETED form in PDF format,
5. submit to TCIA Helpdesk https://help.cancerimagingarchive.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/create/2  as a "Request Access" type ticket. If this does not work for you, email your form to help@cancerimagingarchive.net 
   1. It is recommended that you create your helpdesk ticket with the same email as your TCIA account email address.
   2. it is recommended to include "Restricted access request" as the subject of your ticket.
