This post reviews the recently released Stanford MRNet knee MRI data set and competition. As I am a senior radiology resident, I will focus on exploring the data through basic domain knowledge — addressing aspects of the data distribution that non-physicians may find perplexing. I’ll also include some Python code that interested parties may find useful in exploring the data set on their own.
