VerSe'20 Program ¶

¶

What is new?¶

• With VerSe'20, we aim to work with 300 CT scans (~100% increase over its previous iteration).
• While retaining the richness of its predecessor, the data will now be multi-centre, covering multiple scanners from all four major manufacturers.
• Additionally, challenging the learning algorithms, focus is given to include atypical anatomies such as transitional vertebrae and additional vertebrae such as L6 and T13.
• With clinical-translation being the primary objective of data preparation, we believe the algorithms using this data would more robust and generalisable.
