+# ISLES'24 - Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation Challenge 2024
+
+A real-world, **longitudinal, multimodal** acute-stroke dataset: acute admission
+CT (NCCT, CTA, 4D CT-perfusion + derived perfusion maps), follow-up MRI
+(DWI/ADC), and clinical tabular data, with the **final infarct lesion** as the
+segmentation target.
+
+> **This repository mirrors the public TRAINING set only (149 cases).** The
+> 98-case ISLES'24 test set is withheld by the organizers for challenge scoring
+> on Grand Challenge and is **not** part of any public release.
+
+## Provenance
+
+- **Official source:** Zenodo record **16748089** - *"ISLES'24 - A Real-World
+  Longitudinal Multimodal Stroke Dataset"*, `train.7z`, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
+  (author-provided; not a third-party re-host).
+- **Challenge:** https://isles-24.grand-challenge.org/
+- **Code / data-loading reference:** https://github.com/ezequieldlrosa/isles24
+- This mirror is an **unmodified raw copy** of the released volumes (no
+  resampling, no intensity changes), with two documented exceptions below.
+
+## Counts & faithfulness notes
+
+- **149 training cases** (`sub-stroke0001` ... `sub-stroke0189`, non-contiguous):
+  University Hospital Munich (TUM) + University Hospital Zurich.
+- The companion paper reports **N=150** for training; the public Zenodo release
+  ships **149** (one case excluded upstream). This mirror = the 149 released.
+- **Dropped duplicate:** the upstream release contains one stray uncompressed
+  file `sub-stroke0142_ses-02_lesion-msk.nii` (a native-space leftover). Subject
+  0142 also has the standard co-registered `*_space-ncct_lesion-msk.nii.gz` like
+  every other case, so this mirror keeps the standard GT and omits the stray.
+
+## Structure (BIDS)

+```
+
+**Co-registration:** within each subject, the raw NCCT and every
+`derivatives/*space-ncct*` volume (CTA, perfusion maps, DWI/ADC, all masks)
+share an identical voxel grid (shape, spacing, affine). The raw NCCT itself is
+the reference space (hence there is no `space-ncct_ncct`). So a fully aligned
+input+label stack = raw `ncct` + the `derivatives` `space-ncct` modalities +
+`space-ncct_lesion-msk`.
+
+## Ground truth
+
+| Mask | Space | Type | Role |
+|------|-------|------|------|
+| `space-ncct_lesion-msk` (ses-02) | NCCT | binary {0,1} | **Gold standard** - final infarct lesion, the challenge target |
+| `space-ncct_lvo-msk` (ses-01) | NCCT | binary {0,1} | Auxiliary - large-vessel occlusion (on CTA) |
+| `space-ncct_cow-msk` (ses-01) | NCCT | multi-class | Auxiliary - Circle-of-Willis anatomy (on CTA) |
+
+The **gold-standard lesion mask** is derived from the follow-up **DWI**: masks
+were auto-generated by **DeepISLES** (the productized ISLES'22 winning ensemble)
+and then **quality-controlled / manually corrected and verified by two
+neuroradiologists** (>10 years' experience). The neuroradiologist-verified DWI
+lesion is the reference standard; it is provided co-registered into NCCT space.
+
+## Cross-dataset overlap (leakage note)
+
+- **No patient reuse** from **ISLES'22** (a different, MRI-only DWI cohort).
+  ISLES'24 is a new acute-stroke CT cohort. Modality and patients differ.
+- There is **center-level** overlap (Munich contributes to both editions) and a
+  **methodological** dependency (ISLES'24 GT masks are produced by DeepISLES,
+  which was trained on ISLES'22) - but neither is shared imaging.
+- No shared TCIA / BraTS / Medical Segmentation Decathlon lineage. Identifiers
+  are challenge-internal BIDS `sub-stroke####` IDs only.
