About this dataset

MedSeg's COVID-19 CT segmentation data - the dataset MedSeg is best known for. Two figshare sets are combined here:

- Case 1 is *Dataset 1*: 100 axial CT slices (one slice per patient, from >40 COVID-19 patients) stacked into a single volume. - Cases 2-10 are *Dataset 2*: 9 whole-volume axial CT scans (positive and negative slices).

Every slice was segmented by a radiologist into ground-glass opacity, consolidation, and pleural effusion.

Source images: Dataset 1 from SIRM (sirm.org), Dataset 2 from Radiopaedia - both openly shared for research and education.

What you can do with it in MedSeg

Copied cases behave like normal project series - the public image bytes are linked, not duplicated, so copies are instant and take no extra storage.

  1. Copy cases into a project.
    Filter, multi-select, copy - reference masks come along if you want them.
  2. Run AI segmentation.
    TotalSegmentator, MRSegmentator, nnInteractive 3D clicks/scribbles, or text-prompted VoxTell.
  3. Edit and measure.
    Brush, lasso, fill, oblique planes, volumes in ml - in the browser.
  4. Train your own nnU-Net.
    Correct masks on a handful of cases and train a custom model on hosted GPUs.
