DCE-MRI Clinical Data

  • Breast DCE-MRI data acquired with a Siemens 3T TIM system at OHSU
  • Test data are from ten patients at visit 1 and visit 2 for a total of twenty data sets. Note: Two of these patients were used for the pilot challenge.
  • Visit 1: baseline (before neoadjuvant chemotherapy)
  • Visit 2: after 1 cycle of chemotherapy
  • The DCE data are available in both Matlab files (.mat) and Dicom format
  • The data can be downloaded from http://michallenges.org/dceChallenge2/
Here are the data for 10 patients: Read the README file for using the ".mat" files Important: each participating QIN site should process the data following their own procedures/methods as much as possible.

We are quite flexible in accepting a variety of image formats for the parametric maps volumes. We have experience with NIFTI, NRRD, JPG, PNG, DICOM, and AIM. If you would like to submit results in a format other than one of these, please contact Jayashree at kalpathy@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu.
