Thyroid scan image dataset for the study of thyroid pathologies in adult patients

The Dataset containing 641 images of Thyroid Gammagraphies studies corresponding to 235 patients over 18 years of age that were acquired in the period from 2016 to 2024 at the Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Nacional de Asunción (UNA), Paraguay. The thyroid gammagraphies images were acquired on the trimodal SPECT-CT-PET equipment, model AnyScan SCP, MEDISO brand.

The dataset contains 16 folders, corresponding to the different types of diagnosed pathologies. Within each folder the images were grouped again into 3 folders according to the projections used to acquire the images: Anterior, RAO and LAO. This new dataset includes 641 images for each type of projection, all related to diagnoses of thyroid pathologies obtained from thyroid scans. The labels of each image, along with its respective diagnosis, are detailed in the file called Classification Annotations.xlsx

The images were classified by the professionals of the Nuclear Medicine Service, according to the diagnoses made by the nuclear physicians and were grouped into:

• Toxic adenoma.
• Diffuse goiter.
• Multinodular goiter.
• Nodular goiter.
• Absent thyroid gland - Total thyroidectomy.
• Preserved thyroid gland.
• Deformed thyroid gland.
• Right hemithyroidectomy.
• Autonomous nodule.
• Hyperuptake nodule.
• Hypouptake nodule.
• Remnant after Total thyroidectomy.
• Iatrogenically blocked thyroid.
• De-Quervain's subacute thyroiditis.
• Diffuse goiter - Subacute thyroiditis.
• Multinodular goiter - Subacute thyroiditis.
