To fully validate SAM's performance on medical data, we collected and sorted 53 open-source datasets and built a large medical segmentation dataset with 18 modalities, 84 objects, 125 object-modality paired targets, 1050K 2D images, and 6033K masks.

However, the influence of various MI properties on the QRS is not intuitively predictable. In this work, we have systematically investigated the effects of 17 post-MI scenarios, varying the location, size, transmural extent, and conductive level of scarring and border zone area, on the forward-calculated QRS.
