IvyGAP-Radiomics (SRI-atlas subset)

Multi-parametric brain-MRI glioblastoma (GBM) segmentation dataset: 4 co-registered, skull-stripped MRI sequences per subject with expert tumor sub-compartment masks from two independent institutions, plus precomputed radiomic features. From the TCIA Analysis Result collection IvyGAP-Radiomics (Pati et al., 2020).

⚠️ Scope — this is a preprocessed subset of the full Ivy GAP project

"IvyGAP-Radiomics" is not the complete Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project (Ivy GAP). It is a derived analysis result containing only the pre-operative scans, skull-stripped and co-registered to the SRI24 atlas, converted to NIfTI, with expert tumor masks and radiomic features added. It does not include the original DICOM imaging (~140 GB), histology (ISH), or gene-expression / genomic data of the parent Ivy GAP collection. Only the SRI-atlas package is mirrored here (the alternate MNI-atlas / CWRU-only package is not included).

🔴 Cross-dataset overlap with BraTS (evaluation-integrity hazard)

Pre-operative IvyGAP data is included in the BraTS challenge training set (together with TCGA-GBM, TCGA-LGG, CPTAC-GBM), and these masks were produced with the BraTS preprocessing pipeline (SRI24 atlas, skull-strip) and follow the BraTS labeling convention. Do not benchmark these subjects against any BraTS-trained model, or alongside Angelou0516/brats2023-*, without treating the results as non-held-out — there is likely train/test leakage. Subjects are identified by Ivy GAP IDs (W1W55); there is no published BraTS-ID cross-reference column, so any mapping to BraTS subjects must be done externally via the Ivy GAP → BraTS name tables.

Two expert raters — no single gold standard (by design)

The dataset's purpose is inter-rater reproducibility. Each tumor was segmented independently by board-certified neuroradiologists at two institutions:

  • UPenn (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania) — 34 subjects
  • CWRU (Case Western Reserve University) — 31 subjects

31 subjects are paired (annotated by both). The paper anoints neither rater as "the" ground truth — both are equally-valid expert annotations. Both mask sets are provided here. For a single-GT workflow, the recommended default is UPenn (broader coverage: 34 vs 31). Subjects without a CWRU mask: W6, W30, W54.

Labels (BraTS convention)

value sub-compartment
0 background
1 NCR/NET — necrotic & non-enhancing tumor core
2 ED — peritumoral edema / invaded tissue
4 ET — enhancing tumor

Composite regions: TC (tumor core) = {1,4}; WT (whole tumor) = {1,2,4}; ET = {4}. Mask dtypes as released: UPenn uint16, CWRU float32 — both encode the integer labels above (content is preserved byte-for-byte; cast to integer when loading).

Geometry

All volumes are 240 × 240 × 155 @ 1.0 mm isotropic in SRI24 space, skull-stripped, LPS orientation. One pre-operative study per subject.

Per-subject metadata keyed by Patient (W-ID). Columns include Included_Upenn, Included_CWRU, 4_Modalities (inclusion flags), Age, gender, Histopathology, location, EoR (extent of resection), Surgery, survival_days, Molecular_subtype, IDH1, 1p19q_deletion, MGMT/MGMT PCR, EGFR/EGFR vIII, PTEN, KPS(initial), time-to-progression / last-follow-up, and cause of death. (The CSV also lists a few subjects that lack 4-modality imaging and are therefore not present under data/.)
