Atlases of normal genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics have been published in an attempt to understand the biological phenotype in health and disease and to set the basis of comprehensive comparative omics studies. No such atlas exists for radiomics data. The purpose of this study was to systematically create a radiomics dataset of normal abdominal and pelvic radiomics that can be used for model development and validation. Young adults without any previously known disease, aged > 17 and ≤ 36 years old, were retrospectively included. All patients had undergone CT scanning for emergency indications. In case abnormal findings were identified, the relevant anatomical structures were excluded. Deep learning was used to automatically segment the majority of visible anatomical structures with the TotalSegmentator model as applied in 3DSlicer. Radiomics features including first order, texture, wavelet, and Laplacian of Gaussian transformed features were extracted with PyRadiomics. A Github repository was created to host the resulting dataset. Radiomics data were extracted from a total of 531 patients with a mean age of 26.8 ± 5.19 years, including 250 female and 281 male patients. A maximum of 53 anatomical structures were segmented and used for subsequent radiomics data extraction. Radiomics features were derived from a total of 526 non-contrast and 400 contrast-enhanced (portal venous) series. The dataset is publicly available for model development and validation purposes.
