We are building a database of COVID-19 cases with chest X-ray or CT images. We are looking for COVID-19 cases as well as MERS, SARS, and ARDS.
All images and data will be released publicly in this GitHub repo. Currently we are building the database with images from publications as they are images that are already available.
Current stats. Labels 0=No or 1=Yes. Data loader is here
{'ARDS': {0.0: 75, 1.0: 4},
'Bacterial Pneumonia': {0.0: 73, 1.0: 6},
'COVID-19': {0.0: 23, 1.0: 56},
'MERS': {0.0: 79},
'No Finding': {0.0: 78, 1.0: 1},
'Pneumonia': {0.0: 2, 1.0: 77},
'SARS': {0.0: 68, 1.0: 11},
'Streptococcus': {0.0: 73, 1.0: 6},
'Viral Pneumonia': {0.0: 12, 1.0: 67}}
-
We can extract images from publications. Help identify publications which are not already included using a GitHub issue (DOIs we have are listed in the metadata file).
-
Submit data to https://radiopedia.org/ or https://www.sirm.org/category/senza-categoria/covid-19/ (we can scrape the data from them)
-
Provide bounding box/masks for the detection of problematic regions in images already collected.
Formats: For chest X-ray dcm, jpg, or png are preferred. For CT nifti (in gzip format) is preferred but also dcms. Please contact with any questions.
COVID is possibly better diagnosed using radiological imaging Fang, 2020. Companies are developing AI tools and deploying them at hospitals Wired 2020. We should have an open database to develop free tools that will also provide assistance.
Our goal is to use these images to develop AI based approaches to predict and understand the infection. Our group will work to release these models using the open source Chester AI Radiology Assistant platform.
