Matched DCE-MRI and clinical data for oropharyngeal cancer patients receiving radiotherapy

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) has been shown to be correlated with prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma as well as with changes in salivary glands and the mandible. This potential has been demonstrated through numerous studies, but these studies implement different software, either commercial or in-house, and different scan protocols. Thus, the generalizability of the results is not confirmed. To assist in the standardization of quantitative metrics to confirm the generalizability of these previous studies, we're providing this data set of 15 HNSCC patients who were scanned at three time points: before the start of chemoradiotherapy, mid-treatment, and post-treatment. DCE-MRI and T1 variable flip angle images as well as relevant DICOM & clinical data are provided in this data set that can be used by all software for comparing quantitative metrics.
