title: Chest Radiograph at Diverse Institutes (CRADI) dataset

description: <strong>Introduction to the Chest Radiograph at Diverse Institutes (CRADI) dataset</strong> <strong>Background</strong> Chest radiography is extensively used to screen and diagnose pulmonary and cardiac diseases. The advantages of its clinical practicality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness make chest radiography the most accessible imaging test for pulmonary disorders, especially in primary hospitals. Currently, the interpretation of a chest radiograph mainly relies on radiologists. With the development of algorithms, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown the ability to detect a single disorder in chest radiography, e.g., pneumothorax, lung cancer, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. Traditionally, expert annotation is applied to establish a CNN model for classifying medical images. This manual labeling procedure is time-consuming and highly demanding. Importantly, beyond the detection of a single disease, multi-label classification is necessary to interpret a chest radiograph in clinical practice. In order to promote the development of the artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis of chest radiography, we launched the Chest Radiograph at Diverse Institutes (CRADI) dataset. This dataset is comprised of a large number of chest radiographs. Each radiograph has a 25-label disorder annotation, that was established by the terms adopted from the Fleischner’s glossary, and extracted from the original diagnostic report by natural language processing (NLP) and radiologist expertise. At present, the data of the CRADI dataset comes from two academic hospitals and multiple community clinics in Shanghai. The cases in the CRADI dataset are comprised of in-patients, out-patients, and screening participants. The CRADI dataset provides a better understanding of the multiple and different clinical data sources for chest radiography, which is potentially helpful for the training and test of CNN models. We welcome more data into the CRADI dataset.
