## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->

This dataset is the "Beyond the Cranial Vault" (BTCV) dataset used by Medical-SAM2 paper. Med-SAM2 fine-tunes the Segment Anything Model 2 on to accurately segment CT-scan imagery.
The paper "adopts the philosophy of taking medical images as videos"; so, the images have been converted into videos, and maybe easily resampled into frames using `dataset.to_frames(sample_frames=True)`.
