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).

More details are in the following paper:

Download

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 and we will evaluate it with the following two commands:

docker image load < teamname.tar.gz

docker container run --gpus "device=1" --name teamname --rm \

-v $PWD/inputs/:/workspace/inputs/ \

-v $PWD/teamname_outputs/:/workspace/outputs/ \ 

teamname:latest /bin/bash -c "sh predict.sh"
