NCI Imaging Data Commons November 2022 release is out!
Data
Metadata that corresponded to the collections marked as “limited” has been removed from the IDC BigQuery tables. Back in January 2022, we notified the IDC community about retraction of the collections that contained (or might have contained) images of subject heads from public access. IDC had to reciprocate, and all of the image files corresponding to those collections have been removed from IDC storage buckets and DICOM stores. At the same time, the metadata extracted from those files has been removed only in this release.
We added 2 new collections (one of which is accompanied by clinical data that was also ingested) and 5 updated collections from TCIA. See data release notes for details.
Portal
The portal has been updated to remove search attributes related to the no longer applicable “limited” access content.
Minor user interface changes were implemented with the goal of improving usability.
