| contents | Deformable image registration (DIR) is an enabling technology in many diagnostic and therapeutic tasks. Despite this, DIR algorithms have limited clinical use, largely due to a lack of benchmark datasets for quality assurance during development. To support future algorithm development, here we introduce our first-of-its-kind abdominal CT DIR benchmark dataset, comprising large numbers of highly accurate landmark pairs on matching blood vessel bifurcations. Abdominal CT image pairs of 30 patients were acquired from several public repositories as well as the authors' institution with IRB approval. The two CTs of each pair were originally acquired for the same patient on different days. An image processing workflow was developed and applied to each image pair: 1) Abdominal organs were segmented with a deep learning model, and image intensity within organ masks was overwritten. 2) Matching image patches were manually identified between two CTs of each image pair 3) Vessel bifurcation landmarks were labeled on one image of each image patch pair. 4) Image patches were deformably registered, and landmarks were projected onto the second image. 5) Landmark pair locations were refined manually or with an automated process. This workflow resulted in 1895 total landmark pairs, or 63 per case on average. Estimates of the landmark pair accuracy using digital phantoms were 0.7+/-1.2mm. The data is published in Zenodo at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14362785. Instructions for use can be found at https://github.com/deshanyang/Abdominal-DIR-QA. This dataset is a first-of-its-kind for abdominal DIR validation. The number, accuracy, and distribution of landmark pairs will allow for robust validation of DIR algorithms with precision beyond what is currently available. |
