Pranesh535/NIH-Chest-X-ray-dataset
The NIH Chest X-ray dataset consists of 100,000 de-identified images of chest x-rays. The images are in PNG format. The data is provided by the NIH Clinical Center and is available through the NIH download site: https://nihcc.app.box.com/v/ChestXray-NIHCC

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, Pleuralthickening, 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_pathastrwith the image pathimage: APIL.Image.Imageobject 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 overdataset["image"][0].labels: anintclassification label. <details> <summary>Class Label Mappings</summary>
