Radiology imaging as a data modality (CT, MRI, TCIA)

Radiology images are stored as DICOM series and, like digitised slides (Wikipedia on digital pathology), are analysed by software at scale. The Cancer Imaging Archive and the NCI Imaging Data Commons hold de-identified collections, including scans of TCGA patients, under open licences. Radiomics extracts hand-designed features; radiology foundation models such as RadFM and CT-FM learn features directly. Imaging is the modality most multimodal cancer models have yet to add.
