Volume rendering of the spine in the challenge data set

Introduction

  • This is the first in a series of challenges which aim at improving our set of robust interactive segmentation tools.

The Challenge

  • Provide a tool which will segment
    • each vertebra and
    • each rib as a separate entity.
    • the algorithm can be developed using the data below
    • the algorithm will be tested using a different ct data set of comparable quality.
  • It is acceptable to ask the user to point to one or more vertebrae or other structures.
  • The algorithm must comply with "Rons Rules For Tools".

Sample data set

  • File:CT crop.zip which is cropped from the full data set below. For reference, L1 has been labeled. Use file load scene to load. The download is 70MB and contains the original data set as well.
  • The bottom case in this table is the original location.

Atlas reference

If you need anatomical knowledge, please download this atlas which contains some individually labeled vertebrae.
