Abstract

130 CT scans for segmentation of the liver as well as tumor lesions.

About this dataset

Liver cancer is the fifth most commonly occurring cancer in men and the ninth most commonly occurring cancer in women. There were over 840,000 new cases in 2018.

The liver is a common site of primary or secondary tumor development. Due to their heterogeneous and diffusive shape, automatic segmentation of tumor lesions is very challenging.

In light of that, we encourage the development of automatic segmentation algorithms to segment liver lesions in contrast­-enhanced abdominal CT scans. The data and segmentations are provided by various clinical sites around the world.
This dataset was extracted from LiTS – Liver Tumor Segmentation Challenge (LiTS17) organised in conjunction with ISBI 2017 and MICCAI 2017.
