# Medical Segmentation Decathlon: Prostate

## Dataset Description

This is the **Prostate** dataset from the Medical Segmentation Decathlon (MSD) challenge. The dataset contains MRI scans with segmentation annotations for prostate segmentation.

### Dataset Details

- **Modality**: MRI
- **Task**: Task05_Prostate
- **Target**: peripheral zone and transition zone
- **Format**: NIfTI (.nii.gz)

### Dataset Structure

Each sample in the JSONL file contains:
```json
{
  "image": "path/to/image.nii.gz",
  "mask": "path/to/mask.nii.gz",
  "label": ["label1", "label2", ...],
  "modality": "MRI",
  "dataset": "MSD_Prostate",
  "official_split": "train",
  "patient_id": "patient_id"
}
```

### Data Organization

```
Task05_Prostate/
├── imagesTr/          # Training images
│   └── *.nii.gz
└── labelsTr/          # Training labels
    └── *.nii.gz
```

## Usage

### Load Metadata

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
ds = load_dataset("Angelou0516/msd-prostate")

# Access a sample
sample = ds['train'][0]
print(f"Image: {sample['image']}")
print(f"Mask: {sample['mask']}")
print(f"Labels: {sample['label']}")
print(f"Modality: {sample['modality']}")
```

### Load Images

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
import nibabel as nib
import os

# Download the full dataset
local_path = snapshot_download(
    repo_id="Angelou0516/msd-prostate",
    repo_type="dataset"
)

# Load a sample
sample = ds['train'][0]
image = nib.load(os.path.join(local_path, sample['image']))
mask = nib.load(os.path.join(local_path, sample['mask']))

# Get numpy arrays
image_data = image.get_fdata()
mask_data = mask.get_fdata()

print(f"Image shape: {image_data.shape}")
print(f"Mask shape: {mask_data.shape}")
```
