There are three datasets provided – two image datasets and one dataset consisting of four excel spreadsheets containing feature values.

1. The first image dataset is a set of three Digital Reference Objects (DROs) used in the project, which are: (a) a sphere with uniform intensity, (b) a sphere with intensity variation (c) a nonspherical (but mathematically defined) object with uniform intensity. These DROs were created by the team at Stanford University and are described in (Jaggi A, Mattonen SA, McNitt-Gray M, Napel S. Stanford DRO Toolkit: digital reference objects for standardization of radiomic features. Tomography. 2019;6:–.) and are a subset of the DROs described in DRO Toolkit. Each DRO is represented in both DICOM and NIfTI format and the VOI was provided in each format as well (DICOM Segmentation Object (DSO) as well as NIfTI segmentation boundary).
2. The second image dataset is the set of 10 patient CT scans, originating from the LIDC-IDRI dataset, that were used in the QIN multi-site collection of Lung CT data with Nodule Segmentations project ( https://doi.org/10.7937/K9/TCIA.2015.1BUVFJR7 ). In that QIN study, a single lesion from each case was identified for analysis and then nine VOIs were generated using three repeat runs of three segmentation algorithms (one from each of three academic institutions) on each lesion.  To eliminate one source of variability in our project, only one of the VOIs previously created for each lesion was identified and all sites used that same VOI definition. The specific VOI chosen for each lesion was the first run of the first algorithm (algorithm 1, run 1). DICOM images were provided for each dataset and the VOI was provided in both DICOM Segmentation Object (DSO) and NIfTI segmentation formats.
3. The third dataset is a collection of four excel spreadsheets, each of which contains detailed information corresponding to each of the four tables in the publication. For example, the raw feature values and the summary tables for Tables 2,3 and 4 reported in the publication cited (https://doi.org/10.18383/j.tom.2019.00031). These tables are:

Software Package details : This table contains detailed information about the software packages used in the study (and listed in Table 1 in the publication) including version number and any parameters specified in the calculation of the features reported.

DRO results : This contains the original feature values obtained for each software package for each DRO as well as the table summarizing results across software packages (Table 2 in the publication) .

Patient Dataset results: This contains the original feature values for each software package for each patient dataset (1 lesion per case) as well as the table summarizing results across software packages and patient datasets (Table 3 in the publication).

Harmonized GLCM Entropy Results : This contains the values for the “Harmonized” GLCM Entropy feature for each patient dataset and each software package as well as the summary across software packages (Table 4 in the publication).
