Summary

This image collection was created as a companion data set to augment the larger REMBRANDT project. It consists of 130 cases of magnectic resonance (MR) multi-sequence images of pre-surgical brain tumor patients; including cases of glioblastoma, astrocytomas, and oligodendrogliomas from the REMBRANDT patient population.

For scientific inquiries about the VASARI feature set or corresponding analysis, please contact Adam Flanders at adam.flanders@jefferson.edu.

Metadata

The patients in TCIA can be matched by subject identifier with the extensive clinical, gene, and expression data of the same case available from the REMBRANDT Data Portalto research the link between radiological phenotype and tissue genotype. In addition, there are imaging feature characterizations provided by neuroradiologists from Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) Hospital. This feature set has become known as "VASARI" and became the starting point for the The Cancer Genome Archive (TCGA) Glioma Phenotype Research Group efforts, which is utilizing data from the TCGA-GBM and TCGA-LGG collections.

Clinical data set- Exported from the publicly accessible section of the REMBRANDT Data Portal on 1/16/2014 for convenience to TCIA users.
VASARI_MR_featurekey4.pdf- This document is a "key" for understanding and interpreting the annotation spreadsheet.
VASARI_MRI_features (gmdi-wiki).xls- This document is the actual annotations spreadsheet generated at TJU.
