The National Cancer Imaging Archive (NCIA) is a searchable, national repository integrating in vivo cancer images with clinical and genomic data. NCIA provides the cancer research community, industry, and academia with public access to DICOM images, image markup, annotations, and rich meta data. This tool enables the development of imaging resources that lead to improved clinical decision support, accelerated decision-making, and quantitative imaging assessment of drug response. NCIA provides Web-based access to de-identified DICOM images, markups, and annotations using role-based security. In addition to the NCI hosted NCIA, institutions can adapt NCIA for data storage by standing up an instance of NCIA at the institution with assistance from caBIG™ licensed service providers. The NCIA download package is a ZIP package that includes the NCIA application, supporting libraries, the RSNA MIRC application (with NCIA modifications), documentation, and a sample NCIA database.

Available when using NCI's NCIA instance is a web-based visualization and annotation tool, I-Response. I-Response provides immediate on-screen visualization of DICOM images integrated with NCIA query results and is soon to support persistence of annotations from client to NCIA archive. To download the latest version of I-Response go to the NCICB Downloads Center
