Summary
Our dataset consists of DICOM and XML Annotation files. The images were retrospectively acquired from patients with suspicion of lung caner, and who underwent standard-of-care lung biopsy and PET/CT. The cases were confirmed by pathological diagnosis.The XML Annotation files, which are widely used in deep learning and machine learning research, were provided by five chest Radiologist and two deep learning researchers making our dataset a useful tool and resource for developing algorithms for medical diagnosis. The images were analyzed on the mediastinum (window width, 350 HU; level, 40 HU) and lung (window width, 1,400 HU; level, –700 HU) settings. The reconstructions were made in 2mm-slice-thick and lung settings. The CT slice interval varies from 0.625 mm to 5 mm. Scanning mode includes plain and contrast and 3D reconstruction. The location of the tumors was labeled in the DICOM images, and the image annotations are saved in XML files in PASCAL VOC format. Users can parse the annotations using the PASCAL Development Toolkit: https://pypi.org/project/pascal-voc-tools/
