WORD: A large scale dataset, benchmark and clinical applicable study for abdominal organ segmentation from CT image

• This repo provides the codebase and dataset of work WORD: A large scale dataset, benchmark and clinical applicable study for abdominal organ segmentation from CT image. Each download requirement will be approved within two days.
• Now, we corrected the results of ESPNet+ KD in Table 8 and the dataset descriptions in Table 1 with red font Arxiv and LaTex.

• Some information about the WORD dataset is presented in the following (the LaTex style tables are here):

Fig. 1. An example in the WORD dataset.

Fig. 2. Volume distribution or each organ in the WORD dataset.

Fig. 3. Comparison results of CNN-based and Transformer-based methods.

Fig. 4. User study based on three junior oncologists independently, each of them comes from a different hospital.

DataSet

Please contact Xiangde (luoxd1996 AT gmail DOT com) for the dataset (the label of the testing set can be downloaded now labelTs). Two steps are needed to download and access the dataset: 1) using your google email to apply for the download permission (Goole Driven, BaiduPan); 2) using your affiliation email to get the unzip password/BaiduPan access code. We will get back to you within two days, so please don't send them multiple times. We just handle the real-name email and your email suffix must match your affiliation. The email should contain the following information:

Name/Homepage/Google Scholar: (Tell us who you are.)
Primary Affiliation: (The name of your institution or university, etc.)
Job Title: (E.g., Professor, Associate Professor, Ph.D., etc.)
Affiliation Email: (the password will be sent to this email, we just reply to the email which is the end of "edu".)
How to use: (Only for academic research, not for commercial use or second-development.)

In addition, this work is still ongoing, the WORD dataset will be extended to larger and more diverse (more patients, more organs, and more modalities, more clinical hospitals' data and MR Images will be considered to include future), any suggestion, comment, collaboration, and sponsor are welcome.
