The thymus, a vital immune organ in humans, plays a crucial role in the differentiation and development of T cells. Its normal development commences around the fourth week of gestation, originating from the ectoderm of the third branchial cleft and the endoderm of the third parotid pouch. By the 7-8th week of gestation, the primary thymus migrates towards the central axis.

The Sparsely Annotated Region and Organ Segmentation (SAROS) dataset was created using data from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) to provide a large open-access CT dataset with high-quality annotations of body landmarks. In-house segmentation models were employed to generate annotation proposals on randomly selected cases from TCIA. The dataset includes 13 semantic body region labels (abdominal/thoracic cavity, bones, brain, breast implant, mediastinum, muscle, parotid/submandibular/thyroid glands, pericardium, spinal cord, subcutaneous tissue) and six body part labels (left/right arm/leg, head, torso).

Article Synopsis
  • - NUT carcinoma (NC) is a rare and aggressive cancer associated with a specific gene fusion resulting from a chromosomal translocation (t(15:19)), primarily found in the upper part of the body but also emerging in other areas.
  • - Diagnosing NC is difficult based on appearance alone, but can be effectively done using specialized tests like immunohistochemistry for the NUT protein or by detecting the BRD4::NUTM1 fusion gene.
  • - A recent case involved a 39-year-old man previously diagnosed with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma, whose condition was reclassified to NC after further examination and testing, demonstrating the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective targeted treatment options currently in development.
