3DLAND: 3D Lesion Abdominal Anomaly Localization Dataset
This dataset addresses a gap for medical AI researchers and clinicians by enabling robust evaluation of anomaly detection and localization in abdominal imaging, though it is incremental as it builds on existing data collection efforts.
The authors tackled the lack of 3D annotations and lesion-to-organ associations in abdominal CT datasets by introducing 3DLAND, a large-scale benchmark with over 6,000 CT volumes and 20,000 3D lesion annotations, validated with surface dice scores exceeding 0.75.
Existing medical imaging datasets for abdominal CT often lack three-dimensional annotations, multi-organ coverage, or precise lesion-to-organ associations, hindering robust representation learning and clinical applications. To address this gap, we introduce 3DLAND, a large-scale benchmark dataset comprising over 6,000 contrast-enhanced CT volumes with over 20,000 high-fidelity 3D lesion annotations linked to seven abdominal organs: liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, stomach, and gallbladder. Our streamlined three-phase pipeline integrates automated spatial reasoning, prompt-optimized 2D segmentation, and memory-guided 3D propagation, validated by expert radiologists with surface dice scores exceeding 0.75. By providing diverse lesion types and patient demographics, 3DLAND enables scalable evaluation of anomaly detection, localization, and cross-organ transfer learning for medical AI. Our dataset establishes a new benchmark for evaluating organ-aware 3D segmentation models, paving the way for advancements in healthcare-oriented AI. To facilitate reproducibility and further research, the 3DLAND dataset and implementation code are publicly available at https://mehrn79.github.io/3DLAND.
