Description

This dataset contains 9882 individual canine and feline radiographs annotated by experienced radiologist for both lesion and image quality. 17 different pathological findings have been annotated together with five different quality related tags. The .xlsx file contains the list of the files along with both the quality and lesion tags. A notebook showing how to load a single chest X-ray from the VetXRay dataset, retrieve its annotation from the metadata spreadsheet, apply basic image preprocessing, and display the result is also included.
