Sharing a whole-/total-body [18F]FDG-PET/CT dataset with CT-derived segmentations: an ENHANCE.PET initiative.

F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG)-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) studies, consisting of 1,683 PET/CT images and the corresponding CT-derived segmentations of 130 target regions. This multi-center dataset includes images from individuals without overt disease and patients with a range of malignant and inflammatory pathologies, including arthritis, lymphoma, and melanoma, as well as cancers of the lung, head-neck, and genito-urinary tract. Target regions were first automatically segmented from CT images using an in-house software and subsequently verified and corrected by physicians-in-training. In total, the segmented regions encompass 130 volumes, including abdominal organs, muscles, bones, cardiac subregions, vessels, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle around the third lumbar vertebra. PET/CT images and corresponding CT-derived segmentations are provided in anonymized NIfTI format. The dataset can be used for deep learning training, validation, or multi-modality image analysis and thus fills an important gap in available resources to advance the use of PET/CT data in clinical management.
