UCSF RMaC: University of California San Francisco 3D Multi-Phase Renal Mass CT Dataset with Tumor Segmentations

Current standard of care imaging practices cannot reliably differentiate among certain renal tumors such as benign oncocytoma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and between low and high grade RCCs. Previous work has explored using deep learning, radiomics, and texture analysis to predict renal tumor subtypes and differentiate between low and high grade RCCs with mixed success. To further this work, large diverse datasets are needed to improve model performance and provide strong evaluation sets. In this work, a dataset of 831 multi-phase 3D CT exams was curated. Each exam contains up to three contrast-enhanced CT phases. Tumor outlines or bounding boxes were annotated and registered to the image volumes. The pathology results for each tumor and relevant patient metadata are also included.

Abstract

Current standard of care imaging practices cannot reliably differentiate among certain renal tumors such as benign oncocytoma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and between low and high grade RCCs. Previous work has explored using deep learning, radiomics, and texture analysis to predict renal tumor subtypes and differentiate between low and high grade RCCs with mixed success. To further this work, large diverse datasets are needed to improve model performance and provide strong evaluation sets. In this work, a dataset of 831 multi-phase 3D CT exams was curated. Each exam contains up to three contrast-enhanced CT phases. Tumor outlines or bounding boxes were annotated and registered to the image volumes. The pathology results for each tumor and relevant patient metadata are also included.
