The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) is a publicly accessible service that de-identifies and hosts a large archive of medical images of cancer, organized into collections typically grouped by disease type, imaging modality, or research focus. Supporting data such as patient outcomes, treatment details, genomics, and expert image analyses are provided alongside the images when available.

Example Local Unique Identifier

vestibular-schwannoma-seg   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from The Cancer Imaging Archive should match this regular expression:

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier vestibular-schwannoma-seg is used to demonstrate the providers available for The Cancer Imaging Archive. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
