摘要

Lumbar vertebral substructure segmentation on CT is important for anatomical quantification, surgical planning, and spine imaging biomarker research, but publicly available voxel-level annotations of lumbar subregions remain limited. Here, we present LumbarSeg-6K, a large-scale, multi-source CT dataset comprising 5,952 cropped single-vertebra lumbar volumes derived from VerSe, the CT-COLON subset of CTSpine1K, and LumASe. Each vertebra was annotated for seven anatomical substructures: vertebral body, pedicle, lamina, superior articular process, inferior articular process, transverse process, and spinous process. All data were harmonized under a unified labeling protocol using semi-automated presegmentation, manual refinement, multi-tier expert review, and quality control. Annotation reliability was assessed through an inter-observer consistency analysis, and dataset usability was further evaluated using representative source-stratified segmentation experiments. LumbarSeg-6K is intended to support reproducible research on lumbar vertebral substructure segmentation, anatomical measurement, surgical-planning algorithms, and related CT-based spine applications.
