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.
