Dataset 14: IVDM3Seg – Intervertebral Disc (IVD) Localization and Segmentation from 3D Multi-Modality MR (M3) Images

An open online computational challenge in the field of spine imaging.

There are 24 3D multi-modality MRI data sets of at least 7 IVDs of the lower spine, collected from 12 subjects in two different stages in a study investigating the effect of prolonged bed rest (spaceflight simulation) on the lumbar intervertebral discs. Each subject at each stage was scanned with a 1.5-Tesla MRI scanner of Siemens using Dixon protocol. Thus, each 3D multi-modality MRI data set contains four aligned high-resolution 3D volumes: in-phase, opposed-phase, fat and water images. In total we will have 96 high resolution 3D MRI volume data. For each IVD, reference manual segmentation is provided in the form of binary mask. All images (four volumes per patient) and binary masks (one binary volume per patient) are stored in the Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative (NIFTI) file format.

Dataset 13: xVertSeg - Segmentation and Classification of Fractured Vertebrae

An open online computational challenge in the field of spine medical image analysis

The xVertSeg challenge aims to bring together researchers who are interested in spinal imaging and image analysis, especially in vertebra segmentation and fracture classification problems, and validate the performance of their existing or newly developed algorithms on the same standard database of clinical images with vertebral fractures.

The xVertSeg.v1 database contains 25 CT lumbar spine images including non-fractured vertebrae and vertebrae with fractures of different morphological grades and cases. For 15 images, corresponding vertebra segmentation masks and fracture classification scores are provided, therefore these images should be used for research and/or training purposes. For 10 images, corresponding vertebra segmentation masks and fracture classification scores are known to challenge organizers only, therefore these images should be used for testing purposes, and will be used by challenge organizers for performance evaluation.

Dataset 11: High anisotropy MRIs of the lower back

Lower back pain is affecting increasing number of people with increase in office work. Authoritative diagnosis is frequently established using highly anisotropic MRI scans. This poses unique challenges. The research to tackle this was conducted between 2009 and 2014. Program code is made publicly available under an open source license, including 17 anonymized datasets with corresponding manual segmentations.

Datasets came from variety of hospitals, with a high variety (T1, T2 and TIRM sequences, and a range of TE, TR and other parameters). More details about data can be found in the following publication:

Dataset 10: Multi-Modality Vertebra Recognition in Arbitrary Views using 3D Deformab le Hierarchical Model

Spine structure analysis requires the understanding of vertebra locations, poses and naming in both MR and CT images. The proposed dataset aims to provide a new data reference for the increasing studies of spine recognition problems. The dataset contains MR+CT images from 20 subjects. For each vertebra, the 3D vertebra center location (at spinal cord) and the vertebra 3D orientation are manually annotated as ground truth.

Any publication resulting from any use of this dataset may cite the following paper: Yunliang Cai, Said Osman, Manas Sharma, Mark Landis, and Shuo Li, “Multi-Modality Vertebra Recognition in Arbitrary Views using 3D Deformable Hierarchical Model”, IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 2015.

Dataset 9: Automatic vertebral fracture analysis and identification from VFA by DXA

Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are difficult to diagnose and are often only discovered when the spine is imaged. A clinical assessment of vertebral fracture status can be performed using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This approach is known as vertebral fracture assessment (VFA). The datasets provided for the challenge consist of lateral and posterior-anterior (PA) scan images of the thoracolumbar spine acquired at a resolution of between 1 and 0.35 mm with Hologic Discovery A DXA scanner using the Instant Vertebral Assessment (IVA) scan option. Examples of these images (showing no vertebral fractures) are shown here (PA view (left), lateral view (right)).

In contrast with traumatic fractures, osteoporotic fractures typically affect the vertebral body. Depending on the fracture morphology, they can be classified into three types: concave, wedge and crush.

The major challenge encountered during the vertebral fracture assessment process is to determine whether deviations in the size and shape of vertebrae are due to true fractures or are simply non-fracture deformities, commonly observed in the general population.

The datasets include cases with osteoporotic vertebral fractures, cases with non-fracture deformities, and normal cases. This classification is included per vertebra and per patient.

Dataset 8: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures

For each vertebra, reference manual segmentation is provided in the form of a binary mask. All images and binary masks are stored in the metaimage (MHD-RAW) format used by ITK.

The database is a preview of a larger database (of approx. 30 images) that is planned to be released by autumn 2015 as material for a tentative CSI 2016 challenge.

Dataset 2: Spine and Vertebrae Segmentation

Segmentation is an essential step for many computational spine imaging tasks. Clinical datasets raise many difficulties for automatic methods and ground truth is often scarce. To facilitate and foster the research on this topic, we provide a database of 10 spine CT scans along with manual segmentation of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. The data set can be used for development, training and evaluation of spine segmentation algorithm.

This is the training data for the segmentation challenge of the CSI 2014 Workshop.
