NBIA Data Retriever
You can use NBIA Data Retriever to download medical image series from NBIA and TCIA for cancer research or analytical software development, provided you already have a manifest file.
by SCOTT ESTES
What you get
You get the medical image series specified in your research manifest.
You can download image series from the National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA) and The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). If you work in cancer research, medicine, academia, or industry, this gives you access to archived imaging data for your work, including developing and validating analytical software tools.
You need a manifest file before you can use the app. That file specifies which image series you want to download, so your starting point is an existing selection—not a general request for medical images. With the manifest prepared, you can retrieve those series for use in your research workflow. The app’s role is downloading the data; viewing or analyzing the images is a separate task.
