Dataset Introduction¶

The dataset is adapted from existing benchmark datasets [1-6] by annotating four organs in each case, including liver (label=1), kidney (label=2), spleen (label=3), and pancreas (label=4).

For fair comparison of different methods, we also hold a hidden testing set (50 cases) from a new medical center. Please package your algorithm as a Docker and submit it to us. The submitted Docker should be named TeamName.tar.gz.
