IN-CXR: An Open Dataset of Chest Radiography
Background
Human adult chest radiography across the geography of India was done as part of the National Tuberculosis Prevalence Survey conducted during 2019–21.
The available X-rays (postero-anterior view) are grouped as either (i) normal or (ii) abnormal datasets and are made available for appropriate use.
Description and Purpose
- ICMR–National Institute for Research in Tuberculosis has developed the IN-CXR dataset.
- The images are published in DICOM format and can be viewed using any DICOM Viewer Software.
- The dataset may be used for developing tools using Machine Learning (ML) / Deep Learning (DL) algorithms.
Whether as a researcher, a developer, or a medical professional, the dataset provides a strong foundation to advance Artificial Intelligence capabilities in Radiology.
Join us in revolutionizing healthcare through AI innovation; together, we can drive advancements in radio diagnostics and contribute to better patient care.
