Abstract
Lung cancer is the most dangerous of all forms of cancer and it has the highest occurrence rate, world over. Early detection of lung cancer is a difficult task. Medical images generated by computer tomography (CT) are being used extensively for lung cancer analysis and research. However, it is essential to have a well-organized image database in order to design a reliable computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tool. Identifying the most appropriate dataset for the research is another big challenge. The objective of this paper is to present a review of literature related to lung CT datasets. The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) consortium collates different types of cancer datasets and permits public access through an integrated search engine. This survey summarizes the research work done using lung CT datasets maintained by TCIA. The motivation to present this survey was to help the research community in selecting the right lung dataset and to provide a comprehensive summary of the research developments in the field.
