AI Analysis

This dataset addresses the need for high-quality clinical data for brain metastases research, though it is incremental as it provides new data rather than novel methods.

The researchers released a public multimodal brain MRI dataset with 560 scans from 412 patients, including expert annotations of 5136 brain metastases, to advance AI applications in this domain.

The University of California San Francisco Brain Metastases Stereotactic Radiosurgery (UCSF-BMSR) dataset is a public, clinical, multimodal brain MRI dataset consisting of 560 brain MRIs from 412 patients with expert annotations of 5136 brain metastases. Data consists of registered and skull stripped T1 post-contrast, T1 pre-contrast, FLAIR and subtraction (T1 pre-contrast - T1 post-contrast) images and voxelwise segmentations of enhancing brain metastases in NifTI format. The dataset also includes patient demographics, surgical status and primary cancer types. The UCSF-BSMR has been made publicly available in the hopes that researchers will use these data to push the boundaries of AI applications for brain metastases. The dataset is freely available for non-commercial use at https://imagingdatasets.ucsf.edu/dataset/1
