RRP Specialized Resources
The RRP accesses the following specialized resources:
Quantitative Imaging Network (QIN)
The Quantitative Imaging Network is one of several within the Cancer Imaging Program (CIP). It is designed to promote research and development of quantitative imagining methods for measuring tumor response to therapies in clinical trial settings with the goal of facilitating clinical decision-making. Projects include the appropriate development, adaptation, and implementation of a quantitative imaging method, imaging protocols, and software solutions and tools. These projects use existing commercial imaging platforms and instrumentation and applies these methods in current and planned clinical therapy trials.
The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA)
The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) is provided by the CIP as a service to the research community. TCIA provides a freely accessible, open archive of cancer-specific medical images and metadata that are accessible for public download. A huge number of clinical and research images are collected each year and many high-value data sets are already available.
