Abstract: Highlights•A new multi-center abdominal CT dataset for liver and liver tumor segmentation•The set-up and summary of our LiTS medical segmentation benchmark are presented in three grand challenges.•The resulting state-of-the-art algorithms of the benchmark are reviewed, evaluated, ranked and analyzed.•We performed additional analysis on liver tumor detection task and revealed that not all top-performing segmentation algorithms worked well for liver tumor detection.
