Annotations for Body Organ Localization based on MICCAI LiTS Dataset

The annotations are stored in 201 TXT files (131 for training and 70 for testing), corresponding to the 201 abdominal CT scans in the LiTS dataset. Each TXT file is composed of N lines of records, presenting the N organs appearing in the CT image. The data stored in each line is organized as following formats:

name label x0 x1 y0 y1 z0 z1

where x0 and x1 denote the starting and ending coordinates of the bounding box on X-axis, respectively. And so on, for the Y-axis and Z-axis. 

For example, the following record:

liver 1 70 378 143 369 45 73

defines a bounding box of liver starting at (70, 143, 45) and ending at (378, 369, 73). All the coordinates are measured in voxels. The X-axis points from right hand to left hand; the Y-axis points from face to back; the Z-axis points from feet to head.
