Missing imaging.nii.gz Files in Several KiTS23 Case Folders #35
Description
Hi team ,
While working with the KiTS23 dataset for my university course project on semi-supervised 3D kidney and tumor segmentation, I noticed that many case folders (e.g., case_00102, case_00566, etc.) are missing the imaging.nii.gz files.
Only segmentation.nii.gz and instances/ directories are available.
This prevents preprocessing, visualization, and model training since both the image and segmentation volumes are required.
Example error:
FileNotFoundError: No such file or no access: '/content/drive/MyDrive/kits23/dataset/case_00102/imaging.nii.gz'
Steps to Reproduce
Clone the repo and run:
kits23_download_data
Inspect the dataset folder — several cases lack imaging.nii.gz.
Expected Structure
Each case folder should contain:
imaging.nii.gz
segmentation.nii.gz
instances/
Environment
macOS (M1)
Python 3.12 (Anaconda)
Dataset downloaded via kits23_download_data
Could you please help me obtain access to the complete dataset (with all imaging.nii.gz files)?
I’m using KiTS23 as part of an academic course project, and full dataset access is essential for training and evaluation.
Your work on this dataset has been incredibly valuable to the research community.
Thank you for your time and support.
