RCC-AID: Renal Cell Carcinoma AI Dataset for Medical Imaging Research

Associated publication: de Boer, Häntze, et al. Accessible and Reproducible Renal Cell Carcinoma Research Through Open-Sourcing Data and Annotations medRxiv (preprint). Background This dataset provides voxel-level segmentation annotations for CT imaging from three TCGA renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cohorts: clear cell (TCGA-KIRC), papillary (TCGA-KIRP), and chromophobe (TCGA-KICH). It was created to support accessible and reproducible AI research for RCC and addresses the common problem of TCGA imaging data lacking easily accessible public annotations. A total of 129 annotated CT scans from 91 patients are included (85 clear cell, 26 papillary, 18 chromophobe RCC). Dataset Contents File Description images\ NifTI (.nii.gz) files of CT images, converted from TCIA DICOM source data annotations\ NifTI (.nii.gz) segmentation masks, one per scan metadata.csv Case-level metadata including RCC subtype, patient demographics, and TCIA series identifiers. Reproduced from TCIA source collections (CC BY 3.0). manifest.tcia TCIA Data Retriever manifest. Opening this file with the NBIA Data Retriever will download the original DICOM images directly from TCIA. Segmentation label map: 0 - Background 1 - Kidney 2 - Tumor 3 - Cyst The specific RCC subtype for each case (clear cell, papillary, or chromophobe) is provided in metadata.csv.
