Notes

The current official SPIDER data page reports 544 sagittal T1- and T2-weighted MRI series from 257 patients. The earlier publication described a public release of 447 series from 218 patients; the values in this record reflect the expanded dataset currently listed on the official project page. Images and segmentation masks are distributed as MetaImage files.
