  • Data Analysis Centers (DACs)

A Data Analysis Center (DAC) is a tool or website which provides additional capabilities for downloading, visualizing or analyzing TCIA data by connecting to our TCIA Programmatic Interface (REST API) or by mirroring our Collections.  Learn more about how DACs make it easier to work with our datasets in this presentation.

If you have developed something which meets the DAC criteria please contact the helpdesk so we can add it to this page.  We will also work with you to ensure your site/tool provides adequate attributions and links back to TCIA to comply with our Data Usage Policies and Restrictions.

Clara Train for TCIA DatasetsClara Train is NVIDIA’s domain-optimized application-development framework for medical-imaging researchers and artificial intelligence (AI) developers. Clara Train SDK, which you deploy in a highly available (HA) configuration on the AWS Cloud, includes an AI Assisted Annotation developer toolkit that can be integrated into existing medical viewers, accelerating the creation of AI-ready, annotated medical-imaging datasets. Clara Train also provides a TensorFlow-based training framework with domain-specific pretrained models that accelerate AI development with techniques like transfer learning, federated learning, and automated machine learning. Models trained with Clara Train are packaged as Medical Model Archives (MMARs), which provide a standardized format for training workflows and collaborations.  A sample notebook has been created in order to easily import and pre-process TCIA data for analysis with Clara Train.Data access, Visualization, and AnalysisAPILinux

EuCanImage CatalogEuCanImage is a research project funded by the European Commission, which is developing a European cancer imaging platform and new Artificial Intelligence solutions for oncology. The EuCanImage catalog ( https://molgenis.eibir-edc.org/#/) integrated all TCIA public collections as well as a rapidly growing number of EU data collections. Hence, it is now possible for researchers and developers to search through the EuCanImage catalog based in Europe and identify TCIA imaging collections based in the US. The EuCanImage catalog provides metadata summaries for each collection and links directly to TCIA download pages.Data AccessCatalogWeb application

prostatecancer.aiTesseract-MedicalImaging (Tesseract-MI) is an open-source, web-based platform which enables deployment of AI models while simultaneously providing standard image viewing and reporting schemes. The goal of Tesseract-MI is to augment 3D medical imaging and provide a 4th dimension (AI) when requested by a user. As a case study, we demonstrate the utility of our platform and present ProstateCancer.ai (see also: https://github.com/Tesseract-MI/prostatecancer.ai), a web application which uses data from SPIE-AAPM-NCI PROSTATEx Challenges (PROSTATEx) for identification of clinically significant prostate cancer in MRI. The user can put the AI-assisted probe at any location on the images to see the result of the AI prediction for that specific location. For the reporting, the user can utilize the PI-RADS v2 interface which is provided. All the user's annotations will be saved in a database for further analysis.

Zegami

Zegami helps easily find patterns, outliers and trends in large, curated image data sets, and uncover bias, overfitting and misclassifications in machine learning models, to assist with providing explainability of your Machine Learning models.  

Our scalable, cloud-based platform is powered by an image rendering engine and based on gaming technology. It can display tens of thousands of images (static or dynamic) over low bandwidth connections, and supports a wide variety of image and video formats .

Our solution helps with: 

  • Preparing high quality, unbiased and diverse training data sets    
  • Reducing time-consuming data preparation and cleansing processes, enabling faster ROI  
  • Un-blackboxing your ML models to achieve explainability 
  • Benchmarking your model’s predictive power vs. the gold standard    
  • Validating your models to assist with achieving regulatory compliance    
  • Lifecycle management of AI and monitoring of performance over time
