The ITEC LapGyn4 Gynecologic Laparoscopy Image Dataset (v1.2)

The dataset comprises four individual datasets taken from 500+ gynecologic laparoscopic surgeries for the task of automatic content analysis. The individual collections contain image classes depicting general surgical actions, anatomical structures, conducted actions on specific anatomy as well as examples of differing amounts of visible instruments:

Surgical Actions

Surgical Actions are general activities performed during surgery involving one or more instruments.

Anatomical Structures

Anatomical Structures contains a collection of different inner bodily organs that are of significance for several laparoscopic procedures.

Actions on Anatomy

Actions on Anatomy comprises specific actions on particular anatomy and it at this point includes suturing on different organs.

Instrument Count *

The Instrument Count dataset contains images of different amounts of visible surgical tools.

Note: Not all appearing body-external objects are considered instruments. Within this dataset, following items are not counted:

Download

If you agree to above conditions, you are free to download LapGyn4_v1.2 (~11GB).
The mapping files for the exact our exact 5-fold cross validation split can be downloaded on v1.0 page, but note that file names and dataset size in case of 'Actions on Anatomy' have changed, therefore, they no longer can be applied to this dataset version (v1.2).
