This collection contains CT scans and segmentations from subjects from the training set of the 2019 Kidney and Kidney Tumor Segmentation Challenge (KiTS19). The challenge aimed to accelerate progress in automatic 3D semantic segmentation by releasing a dataset of CT scans for 210 patients with manual semantic segmentations of the kidneys and tumors in the corticomedullary phase.

The imaging was collected during routine care of patients who were treated by either partial or radical nephrectomy at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. Many of the CT scans were acquired at referring institutions and are therefore heterogeneous in terms of scanner manufacturers and acquisition protocols. Semantic segmentations were performed by students under the supervision of an experienced urologic cancer surgeon.

We would like to acknowledge the following institutions for their support of the data collection and associated challenge:

•  Climb 4 Kidney Cancer - Many of the students who worked on the chart review and manual segmentations for this dataset were graciously supported by Climb 4 Kidney Cancer (C4KC) as "C4KC Scholars"
• Intuitive Surgical - A prize of $5,000 was awarded by Intuitive Surgical to the KiTS19 Challenge's highest scoring team
• The National Cancer Institute of The National Institutes of Health - This work was supported under Award Number R01CA225435. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health

• Harmonization of the components of this dataset, including into standard DICOM representation, was supported in part by the NCI Imaging Data Commons consortium. NCI Imaging Data Commons consortium is supported by the contract number 19X037Q from Leidos Biomedical Research under Task Order HHSN26100071 from NCI
