Dataset description
The RibFrac Challenge provides a large-scale benchmark for automated rib fracture detection and classification. It contains around 5,000 annotated rib fractures from 660 CT scans, with pixel-level fracture masks and four-class fracture type labels, supporting both detection and classification research.
