LiTS (The Liver Tumor Segmentation Benchmark) is a CT dataset focused on the segmentation of the liver and its tumors. The dataset compiles data from 7 different medical centers, comprising 131 training cases and 70 test cases. Based on this dataset, related competitions have been successfully held at ISBI 2017, MICCAI 2017, and MICCAI 2018, and it has been included as Task03 in the MSD (Medical Segmentation Decathlon).
