PAXRay++: A dataset for Fine-Grained Segmentation of Thoracic Anatomy in Chest Radiographs via Volumetric Pseudo-Labeling

Description

PAX-Ray++ Dataset

The PAX-Ray++ Dataset is a high-quality dataset designed to facilitate segmentation tasks for anatomical structures in chest radiographs. By leveraging pseudo-labeled thorax CT scans projected onto a 2D plane, this dataset provides fine-grained annotations resembling traditional X-ray imaging. This enables the development and evaluation of models tailored to anatomical segmentation in medical imaging.

Key Features

  • Large Dataset: Contains 7,377 frontal and lateral view images, each carefully pseudo-labeled.
  • Fine-Grained Annotation: Offers annotations for 157 distinct anatomical classes, ensuring comprehensive coverage of thoracic anatomy.
  • Extensive Instances: Includes over 2 million annotated instances, providing a robust foundation for training and evaluation.
  • 2D Projection of 3D Data: Combines the richness of 3D CT data with the accessibility of 2D radiographic images.

Applications

The PAX-Ray++ dataset is designed to support:

  • Anatomical segmentation in chest X-rays.
  • Development of machine learning models for medical imaging tasks.
  • Research on transfer learning between CT-derived and true radiographic images.
