Query and download NCI Imaging Data Commons (IDC) cancer radiology and pathology datasets via the idc-index Python client. No authentication required: the parquet index ships inside the pip wheel, SQL runs locally via DuckDB, and DICOM downloads stream from public S3/GCS buckets through s5cmd. Use sql_query() for DuckDB cohort selection, get_collections/get_patients/get_dicom_studies/get_dicom_series for hierarchical browsing, download_from_selection() for downloads, and get_viewer_URL() for…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# NCI Imaging Data Commons (idc-index) ## Overview NCI Imaging Data Commons (IDC) is the largest public collection of cancer imaging data, hosting 175+ DICOM collections (CT, MR, PET, slide microscopy, segmentations, structured reports). The idc-index Python client ships the entire IDC metadata catalog as a parquet file bundled inside the pip wheel; IDCClient() loads it into DuckDB, so sql_query() runs locally with zero network calls. Image downloads stream from public AWS S3 (default) or Google Cloud Storage buckets via the bundled s5cmd executable. No GCP/AWS credentials, no BigQuery billing, no service account JSON. ## When to Use - Searching publicly available cancer imaging datasets by modality, cancer type, anatomical site, or DICOM tag - Building reproducible ML cohorts (segmentation, classification, multimodal) from versioned IDC releases - Querying DICOM metadata at scale using SQL across all 175+ collections without any downloads - Downloading specific DICOM series for local processing or model training - Generating OHIF/Slim viewer URLs to share or inspect series interactively in a browser …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/imaging-data-commons@sha256:0ca3ac7209c19626The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.a140b59, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
