## Description

This dataset contains the raw label images and ground truth label images of axial view slices of lumbar spine MRI used to train SegNet to detect lumbar spinal stenosis. The four labelled Regions of Interest namely 1) Intervertebral Disc (IVD), 2) Posterior Element (PE), 3) Thecal Sac (TS) and 4) the Area between Anterior and Posterior (AAP) vertebrae elements. The labelling process was carried out by five labellers under supervision of an expert radiologist using the T1-weighted axial-view MRI slice of the last three IVDs. Analysis on the quality of the developed ground truth label images is provided in our paper.
