Summary
The data for this challenge contains a total of 55 MRI cases, each from a single examination from a distinct patient, with each case consisting of a T2-weighted images in DICOM format. Thirty-five of these will be provided as training cases, with the parotid glands, submandibular glands, level 2 and level 3 lymph nodes contoured. The images were acquired from MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The training set consists of 35 MRI with corresponding RT structures sets. This dataset will be representative of the technical properties (scanner type, acquisition parameters, file format) and the contours of the test set. Data will be in DICOM format. Contours will be provided for parotid glands, submandibular glands, level 2 and level 3 lymph nodes. The off-line set consists of 10 MRI cases with no ground truth contours.
