Introduction #

Stefan Jaeger, Sema Candemir, Sameer Antaniet al.

The provided Chest Xray Masks and Labels dataset includes X-rays along with their corresponding masks. Notably, some masks may be absent, so cross-referencing images and masks is recommended. This dataset is derived from a modification of an original dataset, which combines Shenzhen and Montgomery County publicly available chest X-ray datasets.

The authors of the dataset address the significant global health concern posed by tuberculosis (TB) and the growing interest in developing computer-aided diagnostic systems for TB detection. They recognize that progress in this field has been hindered by the scarcity of publicly available radiographs suitable for training machine learning algorithms for diagnostic systems. In response, the U.S. National Library of Medicine has released two datasets of postero-anterior (PA) chest radiographs, namely the Montgomery County (MC) set and the Shenzhen set, for research purposes. Both sets include clinical readings, and the MC set also offers manually segmented lung masks, enhancing the scope for evaluating automatic lung segmentation methods. These datasets were de-identified and exempted from institutional review board (IRB) review. Initial classification and lung segmentation results have been presented, serving as benchmarks for the research community.

The Montgomery County chest X-ray set (MC) was collected in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services in Maryland, USA. Comprising 138 frontal chest X-rays, this set includes both normal cases (80) and cases with TB manifestations (58). Captured using a stationary X-ray machine, the images are provided in 12-bit gray level PNG format, with the option of obtaining them in DICOM format. The image dimensions are either 4,020×4,892 or 4,892×4,020 pixels. Each reading contains patient information including age, gender, and observed lung abnormalities. Additionally, manual lung segmentations are available, created under radiologist supervision.

Here is the pattern of a typical medical reading:

Patient’s Sex: F
Patient’s Age: 031Y
cavitary nodular infiltrate in RUL; active TB

The Shenzhen chest X-ray set was gathered in collaboration with Shenzhen No.3 People’s Hospital in China. This set comprises 662 frontal chest X-rays, encompassing normal cases (326) and cases with TB manifestations (336), including pediatric X-rays (AP). The X-rays were captured as part of routine outpatient clinic activities over a 1-month period using a Philips DR Digital Diagnost system. Provided in PNG format, these X-rays have an approximate size of 3K × 3K pixels. Each reading includes patient details and observed lung abnormalities.

Here is the pattern of a typical medical reading:

male 46yrs
bilateral PTB

Both sets contribute valuable resources to the research community, enabling the development and assessment of computer-aided diagnostic systems for TB detection.

Summary #

Chest Xray Masks and Labels is a dataset for instance segmentation, semantic segmentation, and object detection tasks. It is used in the medical industry.

The dataset consists of 896 images with 1627 labeled objects belonging to 2 different classes including healthy lung and tuberculosis lung.

Images in the Chest Xray Masks and Labels dataset have pixel-level instance segmentation annotations. Due to the nature of the instance segmentation task, it can be automatically transformed into a semantic segmentation (only one mask for every class) or object detection (bounding boxes for every object) tasks. There are 192 (21% of the total) unlabeled images (i.e. without annotations). There are 2 splits in the dataset: CXRpng-train (800 images) and test (96 images). Alternatively, the dataset could be split into 2 origins of data: Shenzhen (662 images) and Montgomery County (138 images). Additionaly, every image has info with text medical recordings. The dataset was released in 2019 by the National Institutes of Health, USA, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China, and The Shenzhen No. 3 People’s Hospital, China.

Here is the visualized example grid with animated annotations:
