SKM-TEA: A Dataset for Accelerated MRI Reconstruction with Dense Image Labels for Quantitative Clinical Evaluation

Abstract

While deep-learning-based MRI reconstruction and image analysis methods have shown promise, few have been translated to clinical practice. This may be a result of (1) paucity of end-to-end datasets that enable comprehensive evaluation from reconstruction to analysis and (2) discordance between conventional validation metrics and clinically useful endpoints. Here, we present the Stanford Knee MRI with Multi-Task Evaluation (SKM-TEA) , a dataset of 155 clinical quantitative 3D knee MRI scans with k-space data, DICOM images, and dense tissue segmentation and pathology annotations to facilitate clinically relevant, comprehensive benchmarking of the MRI workflow. Dataset, code, and trained baselines are available at https://github.com/StanfordMIMI/skm-tea .
