Prostate cancer T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRIs) were acquired on a 1.5 T Philips Achieva by combined surface and endorectal coil, including dynamic contrast-enhanced images obtained prior to, during and after I.V. administration of 0.1 mmol/kg body weight of Gadolinium-DTPA (pentetic acid). Corresponding clinical metadata (XLS format) and 3D segmentation files (NRRD format) are offered as a supplement to this image collection. The XLS file contains pathology biopsy and excised gland tissue reports and the MRI radiology report for most subjects. The Multi-component NRRD Segmentations allow visualization and downstream analysis in 3D Slicer of the following prostate components: prostate gland boundary; internal capsule; central gland, peripheral zone; seminal vesicles; urethra; cancer – dominant nodule; neurovascular bundle; penile bulb; ejaculatory duct; veru-montanum; and rectum. See our tutorial on Using 3D Slicer with the Prostate-Diagnosis data if you are not familiar with using this kind of data. The Seminal vesicles (SV) and neurovascular bundle (NVB) Segmentations delineate the neurovascular bundle and seminal vessicles as MHA files. These were provided as part of a planned challenge competition that did not materialize. The Third Party Analysis dataset mentioned beneath the Data Access table was added later as part of the NCI-ISBI 2013 Challenge - Automated Segmentation of Prostate Structures. It includes segmentations for 30 Prostate-Diagnosis subjects in NRRD format which mark the boundaries of the central gland and peripheral zone were also provided |
