# Dataset Card for Spine Segmentation: Discs, Vertebrae and Spinal Canal (SPIDER)

The lumbar spine magnetic resonance images and segmentation masks contained in this data set are from the following paper:

Jasper W. van der Graaf, Miranda L. van Hooff, Constantinus F. M. Buckens, Matthieu Rutten, 
Job L. C. van Susante, Robert Jan Kroeze, Marinus de Kleuver, Bram van Ginneken, Nikolas Lessmann. (2023).
**Lumbar spine segmentation in MR images: a dataset and a public benchmark.** https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.12217.

The data were originally made publicly available in [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/records/8009680), an open repository operated by CERN.
They have been curated here on Hugging Face to enable researchers to more easily access the data for other analyses.
