This paper describes the methodology used to create a multimedia collection of cases with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) at the University Hospitals of Geneva. The dataset contains high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) image series with three-dimensional annotated regions of pathological lung tissue along with clinical parameters from patients with pathologically proven diagnoses of ILDs. The motivations for this work is to palliate the lack of publicly available collections of ILD cases to serve as a basis for the development and evaluation of image-based computerized diagnostic aid. After 38 months of data collection, the library contains 128 patients affected with one of the 13 histological diagnoses of ILDs, 108 image series with more than 41l of annotated lung tissue patterns as well as a comprehensive set of 99 clinical parameters related to ILDs. The database is available for research on request and after signature of a license agreement.
本文介绍了在日内瓦大学附属医院创建间质性肺病 (ILD) 多媒体病例集所采用的方法。该数据集包含高分辨率计算机断层扫描 (HRCT) 图像系列，以及经过病理学证实的 ILD 患者的三维标注的病理性肺组织区域和临床参数。创建该数据集的动机是为了弥补ILD 病例缺乏公开可用的数据集的不足，以便作为基于图像的计算机辅助诊断工具的开发和评估的基础。经过 38 个月的数据收集，该库包含了 128 名患有 13 种组织学 ILD 诊断之一的患者，108 个具有超过 41l 标注肺组织模式的图像系列以及与 ILD 相关的一套完整的 99 个临床参数。该数据库可根据请求提供，并在签署许可协议后使用。
