# Processed and Reduced Medical Segmentation Decathlon Dataset
<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->
The miniMSD dataset is a medical image segmentation benchmark covering 10 human organs.
It is derived from the [Medical Segmentation Decathlon (MSD)](http://medicaldecathlon.com) by converting volumetric scans
from NIfTI (NII) format into serialized 2D RGB images, alongside their corresponding segmentation masks.
The dataset is provided in multiple resolution variants ([244](https://huggingface.co/datasets/chehablaborg/miniMSD244)
and [512](https://huggingface.co/datasets/chehablaborg/miniMSD512)), enabling easier use,
off-the-shelf accessibility, and flexible experimentation.

## Dataset Details
The dataset covers 10 human body organs, listed below.
Each organ includes up to 40 volumes, with each volume consisting of a variable number of image slices.
Each dataset entry contains the following components: the organ type, the image, a binary mask,
a detailed (multi-class) mask, a volume ID, and a slice ID.
The image, binary mask, and detailed mask are all provided as PIL images.
The binary mask contains two labels: 0 for background and 1 for the target region.
The detailed mask contains multiple labels (0, 1, 2, 3, …), where each label corresponds to a specific
anatomical structure. The mapping of label indices to structures is provided below.

| Organ          | Number of Volumes | Total Slices | Avg. Slices per Volume | % of Total Slices |
|----------------|-------------------|--------------|------------------------|-------------------|
| Prostate       | 32                | 1204         | 37.625                 | 1.26%             |

| HepaticVessel  | 40                | 5796         | 144.900                | 6.08%             |

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the dataset is intended to be used. -->

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
miniMSD244 = load_dataset("chehablaborg/miniMSD244", split="train")

sample_id = 312
organ = miniMSD244[sample_id]["organ"]
image = miniMSD244[sample_id]["image"]
binary_mask = miniMSD244[sample_id]["binary_mask"]
classes_mask = miniMSD244[sample_id]["classes_mask"]
plt.imshow(image, cmap="grey")
plt.show()
```
