📋 Dataset Overview

The CT Kidney Dataset comprises 12,446 unique CT images collected from PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) across multiple hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The dataset includes four distinct classes of kidney conditions:

🟢 Normal	🟡 Cyst	🔴 Tumor	🔵 Stone
5,077	3,709	2,283	1,377
40.8%	29.8%	18.4%	11.0%

Dataset Characteristics

• Total Images: 12,446 unique CT scans
• Image Types: Coronal and Axial cuts
• Contrast: Mix of contrast and non-contrast studies
• Protocols: Whole abdomen and urogram protocols
• Format: Lossless JPG (converted from DICOM)

Data Validation

The dataset underwent rigorous validation by medical experts:

1. Initial Selection: DICOM studies selected by diagnosis
2. Anonymization: Patient information removed
3. Expert Validation: Verified by radiologist and medical technologist

🏗️ Methodology

1. Data Preprocessing

train_transform = T.Compose([
    T.Resize((224, 224)),
    T.RandomHorizontalFlip(p=0.5),
    T.RandomRotation(15),
    T.ColorJitter(brightness=0.2, contrast=0.2, saturation=0.2, hue=0.1),
    T.RandomAffine(degrees=0, translate=(0.1, 0.1), scale=(0.9, 1.1)),
    T.ToImage(),
    T.ToDtype(torch.float32, scale=True),
    T.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
])

2. Active Learning Strategy

We employed an entropy-based active learning approach:

Parameter	Value
Initial labeled set	200 samples
Query size per round	300 samples
Total rounds	7
Final labeled samples	2,000

3. Model Architecture

ResNet50 with transfer learning:

• Pre-trained on ImageNet
• Modified final layer (2048 → 4 classes)
• Total parameters: 23.52M
• Input size: 224×224×3
