Merged Multi-Organ Abdominal CT Segmentation Dataset

Description

The abdominal CT images and reference segmentations were drawn from three datasets: the Beyond the Cranial Vault (BTCV) Abdomen dataset [1], the Multi-Modality Abdominal Multi-Organ Segmentation Challenge 2022 dataset [2], and the TotalSegmentator dataset [3]. Given the class differences among the three datasets, their consolidation requires the elimination of several classes, resulting in a unified dataset of 680 CT images comprising 12 classes common to all three, including:

• Spleen
• Right Kidney
• Left Kidney
• Gallbladder
• Esophagus
• Liver
• Stomach
• Aorta
• Inferior Vena Cava
• Pancreas
• Right Adrenal Gland
• Left Adrenal Gland

The original work for which this dataset was created can be found in this GitHub repository.
