Open Data & Research Resources

We believe that sharing data, software and research tools helps accelerate scientific progress and clinical innovation. Our open research resources support collaboration, transparency and reproducibility across the medical imaging and radiation therapy community.

Open source

Through GitHub, we share selected code repositories, open-source tools, research software and technical resources developed at Image X Institute.

Robotic QA Phantom 6DoF

The robotic phantom quality assurance device accurately mimics tumour motion, ensuring safe implementation of radiotherapy technologies in the clinic. This project is now available open source – we have provided the software, as well as specifications for equipment needed, and full documentation.

TROG 15.01 Stereotactic Prostate Adaptive Radiotherapy utilizing Kilovoltage Intrafraction Monitoring (SPARK) Database

This dataset contains 48 prostate cancer patient data including the planning CT images, treatment plans, RT structure sets, planned and motion-included dose volume histograms, intra-treatment kilovoltage (kV) and megavoltage (MV) projection images, tumor translational and rotational motion determined by KIM, tumor motion ground truth data determined by the triangulation method, the linear accelerator trajectory traces and patient treatment outcomes.

The Sparse-view Reconstruction Challenge for Four-dimensional Cone-beam CT Dataset

The goal of the SPARE challenge was to explore the possibility of high quality 4D CBCT while sparing patients the additional scan time and imaging dose that was currently used in the clinics. 4D CBCT allowed the verification of tumor motion for thoracic patients immediately before every radiotherapy session. A clinical 4D CBCT scan took 2–4 minutes, as compared to one minute for a 3D CBCT scan. Participants received CBCT projection data either acquired clinically or simulated. Prior CT data and training sets were also be provided. Using these datasets, participants applied their reconstruction algorithms and submitted the final reconstructions to the host within a timeframe of three months.
