Description

Woznicki and co-authors present a 2023 review that gathers open cancer imaging data sets for radiomics research. Radiomics mines medical scans for numbers that may predict outcomes, but open data sets are messy and hard to reuse. Formats vary, records lack detail, and prep work differs across labs. The team screened four large public archives for sets fit for this use.

They kept twenty-nine data sets with scans, tumor outlines, and clinical labels. The haul covers over ten thousand patients and near fifty thousand scans. Each set got uniform preprocessing and feature extraction for easy reuse. License terms were checked as well. The repository aims to make radiomics studies easier to repeat.
