NCI Imaging Data Commons April 2022 release is out!

Here are some of the highlights:

  • Data: slide microscopy imaging data is now available for all of the TCGA collections and for the NLST collection - that’s the total of >14 TB of new slide microscopy data (if you are curious how to get to this number, check out this query)
  • Portal: you can now choose whether you want to search the collections that are no longer available in IDC, and they are now excluded by default; we also excluded those collections from the overall statistics on the front page, which resulted in the reduction in data summary numbers relative to v7
  • Viewers: we added new features for quantitative microscopy imaging and several performance enhancements, including client-side decoding and color correction of compressed images using WebAssembly as well as transformation and rendering of images using WebGL
