New CADS dataset enables comprehensive whole-body CT segmentation

Researchers have introduced CADS, a comprehensive dataset and segmentation framework designed for whole-body anatomy in computed tomography (CT) scans. This new resource harmonizes anatomical labels from over 100 imaging centers, providing annotations for 167 structures across 22,022 CT volumes. CADS utilizes a self-training approach with shape-informed quality control to generate high-quality pseudo-labels for sparsely annotated scans. The framework demonstrates robust segmentation performance across distribution shifts and outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods on 18 public datasets, with further validation in an independent oncology cohort. AI

IMPACT This dataset and framework could accelerate research in computational anatomy and improve diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging.

    CADS: A Comprehensive Anatomical Dataset and Segmentation for Whole-Body Anatomy in Computed Tomography

    arXiv:2507.22953v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Volumetric computed tomography (CT) segmentation supports quantitative image analysis, but most AI-based methods remain organ-specific, with fragmented models, inconsistent label definitions, and heterogeneous training and…
