# MedCAGD-Dataset-Collection - Medical Image Segmentation Datasets

This repo contains multiple publicly available medical image segmentation (Semantic Segmentation) datasets used for training and evaluation of the segmentation models. Each subfolder corresponds to a specific dataset and follows its original structure or a standardized format used in this project. These datasets are used for benchmarking segmentation performance across multiple medical imaging modalities including CT, MRI, dermoscopy, endoscopy, ultrasound, fundus imaging, and microscopy.

## Research Note

This dataset collection provides early access to the datasets used for benchmarking segmentation models across multiple medical imaging datasets. The benchmark results for the methods evaluated on these datasets are currently under review and have not yet been published.
The segmentation benchmarks associated with this dataset collection are part of ongoing research related to the MCADS decoder and the upcoming MedCAGD framework. The full benchmark results and evaluation protocols will appear in the MedCAGD paper, which is currently under review, and additional results will be released after the review process.
