Imaging Data Commons

Overview

Use the idc-index Python package to query and download public cancer imaging data from the National Cancer Institute Imaging Data Commons (IDC). No authentication required for data access.

Current IDC Data Version: v23 (always verify with IDCClient().get_idc_version())

Primary tool: idc-index (GitHub)

CRITICAL - Check package version and upgrade if needed (run this FIRST):

import idc_index

REQUIRED_VERSION = "0.11.14"  # Must match metadata.idc-index in this file
installed = idc_index.__version__
