The accurate diagnosis of spinal pathologies depends heavily on radiological interpretation, yet automated systems are hindered by the lack of diverse, high-quality benchmarks. In this study, we present PhenSPINE, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging dataset comprising 16,813 images from 250 patients, curated to facilitate advanced deep learning research.

Automated assessment of degenerative pathology in the lumbar spine on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) requires access to large-scale datasets of expert-annotated radiological gradings. In contrast, segmentation pseudo-labels can be generated by automated tools at negligible radiologist cost.

Fiber tractography's ability to reconstruct the brain's structural pathways, has made it a crucial component of modern neuroimaging, enabling detailed, non-invasive mapping of structural connectivity and supporting a wide range of neurological research and clinical applications. However, despite its importance, tractography remains a challenging task due to the inherent complexity of white matter structure and its susceptibility to false positives, which can lead to the misrepresentation of critical pathways.
