Summary

This is a sample collection of synthetic 3D Digital Reference Objects (DROs) intended for standardization of quantitative imaging feature extraction pipelines. We have developed a software toolkit for the creation of DROs with customizable size, shape, intensity, texture, and margin sharpness values. Using user-supplied input parameters, these objects are defined mathematically as continuous functions, discretized, and then saved as DICOM objects. This collection includes objects with a range of values for the various feature categories and many combinations of these categories.

Acknowledgements We would like to acknowledge the individuals and institutions that contributed to the development and creation of these digital reference objects:

  • Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, USA - Akshay  Jaggi  B.S. and Sandy Napel PhD from the Department of Radiology
  • University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California, USA - Michael McNitt-Gray PhD from the Department of Radiology
  • The University of Western Ontario, Department of Medical Biophysics - Sarah Mattonen PhD
  • The National Cancer Institute Quantitative Imaging Network (QIN)
