Computed Tomography Images from Large Head and Neck Cohort (RADCURE)

The RADCURE dataset was collected clinically for radiation therapy treatment planning and retrospectively reconstructed for quantitative imaging research. Acquisition and Validation Methods: RADCURE is comprised of data for 3,346 patients and contains computed tomography (CT) images with corresponding normal and non-normal tissue contours. CT scans were collected using systems from three different manufacturers. Standard clinical imaging protocols were followed, and contours were generated and reviewed at weekly quality assurance rounds. RADCURE imaging and structure set data was extracted from our institution’s radiation treatment planning and oncology systems using an in-house data mining and processing system. Furthermore, images are linked to clinical data for each patient and includes demographic, clinical and treatment information based on the 7th edition TNM staging system. The median patient age is 63, with the final dataset including 80% males. Oropharyngeal cancer makes up 50% of the population with larynx, nasopharynx, and hypopharynx cancer, comprising 25, 12, and 5% respectively. Median follow-up was 5 years with 60% of the patients alive at last follow-up.RADCURE数据集（RADCURE dataset）最初为临床放射治疗计划工作采集，后经回溯性重构以用于定量成像研究。采集与验证方法：该数据集包含3346例患者的资料，其中包括计算机断层扫描（computed tomography，CT）图像及与之对应的正常与异常组织轮廓标注。CT扫描采用三家不同厂商的设备完成采集。研究遵循标准临床成像规范，组织轮廓标注由每周质量保障审核会议生成并复核。本数据集的影像与结构集数据，通过自研数据挖掘与处理系统，从本机构的放射治疗计划及肿瘤学系统中提取得到。此外，所有影像均与每位患者的临床数据相关联，包含基于第7版TNM分期系统（TNM Staging System）的人口统计学、临床及治疗相关信息。患者的中位年龄为63岁，最终数据集中男性占比达80%。该数据集患者中，口咽癌占比50%，喉癌、鼻咽癌及下咽癌占比分别为25%、12%与5%。中位随访时间为5年，末次随访时60%的患者仍存活。
