Testicular cancer is a rare tumor with a worldwide incidence that has increased over the last few decades. The majority of these tumors are testicular non-germ (TNGCTs) and germ cell tumors (TGCTs); the latter divided into two broad classes - seminomatous (SGCTs) and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs). Although ultrasonography (US) maintains a primary role in the diagnostic workup of scrotal pathology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as the imaging modality recommended for challenging cases, providing additional information to clarify inconclusive/equivocal US. In this work we describe and publicly share a collection of 44 images of annotated T2-weighted MRI lesions from 42 patients. Given that testicular cancer is a rare tumor, we are confident that this collection can be used to validate statistical models and to further investigate TNGCT and TGCT peculiarities using medical imaging features.
睾丸癌是一种罕见的肿瘤，其全球发病率在过去几十年中有所增加。这些肿瘤大多数是睾丸非生殖细胞肿瘤（TNGCT）和生殖细胞肿瘤（TGCT）；后者分为两类 - 精原细胞瘤（SGCT）和非精原细胞瘤生殖细胞肿瘤（NSGCT）。虽然超声（US）在阴囊病变的诊断性检查中仍起着主要作用，但磁共振成像（MRI）已成为推荐用于疑难病例的影像学方式，为澄清不确定/可疑的 US 提供了更多信息。在这项工作中，我们描述并公开分享了来自 42 名患者的 44 个 T2 加权 MRI 病变标注图像的集合。鉴于睾丸癌是一种罕见的肿瘤，我们相信这个集合可以用于验证统计模型，并使用医学成像特征进一步研究 TNGCT 和 TGCT 的特征。
