Amos: A large-scale abdominal multi-organ benchmark for versatile medical image segmentation

Despite the considerable progress in automatic abdominal multi-organ segmentation from CT/MRI scans in recent years, a comprehensive evaluation of the models' capabilities is hampered by the lack of a large-scale benchmark from diverse clinical scenarios. Constraint by the high cost of collecting and labeling 3D medical data, most of the deep learning models to date are driven by datasets with a limited number of organs of interest or samples, which still limits the power of modern deep models and makes it difficult to provide a fully comprehensive and fair estimate of various methods. To mitigate the limitations, we present AMOS, a large-scale, diverse, clinical dataset for abdominal organ segmentation. AMOS provides 500 CT and 100 MRI scans collected from multi-center, multi-vendor, multi-modality, multi-phase, multi-disease patients, each with voxel-level annotations of 15 abdominal organs, providing challenging examples and test-bed for studying robust segmentation algorithms under diverse targets and scenarios. We further benchmark several state-of-the-art medical segmentation models to evaluate the status of the existing methods on this new challenging dataset. We have made our datasets, benchmark servers, and baselines publicly available, and hope to inspire future research. The paper can be found at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.08023.pdf

In addition to providing the labeled 600 CT and MRI scans, we expect to provide 2000 CT and 1200 MRI scans without labels to support more learning tasks (semi-supervised, un-supervised, domain adaption, ...). The link can be found in:

• labeled data (500CT+100MRI)
• unlabeled data Part I (900CT)
• unlabeled data Part II (1100CT) (Now there are 1000CT, we will replenish to 1100CT)
• unlabeled data Part III (1200MRI)
