Dataset Summary

ChestX-ray dataset comprises 112,120 frontal-view X-ray images of 30,805 unique patients with the text-mined fourteen disease image labels (where each image can have multi-labels), mined from the associated radiological reports using natural language processing. Fourteen common thoracic pathologies include Atelectasis, Consolidation, Infiltration, Pneumothorax, Edema, Emphysema, Fibrosis, Effusion, Pneumonia, Pleural_thickening, Cardiomegaly, Nodule, Mass and Hernia, which is an extension of the 8 common disease patterns listed in our CVPR2017 paper. Note that original radiology reports (associated with these chest x-ray studies) are not meant to be publicly shared for many reasons. The text-mined disease labels are expected to have accuracy >90%.Please find more details and benchmark performance of trained models based on 14 disease labels in our arxiv paper: 1705.02315

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

A sample from the training set is provided below:

{'image_file_path': '/root/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/extracted/95db46f21d556880cf0ecb11d45d5ba0b58fcb113c9a0fff2234eba8f74fe22a/images/00000798_022.png',
 'image': <PIL.PngImagePlugin.PngImageFile image mode=L size=1024x1024 at 0x7F2151B144D0>,
 'labels': [9, 3]}

Data Fields

The data instances have the following fields:

• image_file_path a str with the image path
• image: A PIL.Image.Image object containing the image. Note that when accessing the image column: dataset[0]["image"] the image file is automatically decoded. Decoding of a large number of image files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "image" column, i.e. dataset[0]["image"] should always be preferred over dataset["image"][0].
• labels: an int classification label.
