CONFLUX Chest-CT
200,000 synthetic 3D chest CT volumes with structured abnormality and demographic labels, generated by CONFLUX.
Released with the paper CONFLUX: A Latent Diffusion Model for 3D Chest-CT Synthesis with RL Post-Training.

About
CONFLUX is a conditional 3D latent generative model for chest CT: a VAE tokenizer compresses each volume into a compact 16-channel latent, a single-stream rectified-flow transformer generates in that latent space, and a reinforcement-learning stage sharpens label faithfulness. Every volume in this release is generated from a clinical profile — 18 abnormality findings, sex, age group, and reconstruction kernel — so the cohort is fully labeled and covers realistic clinical variation. See the paper for the model, training, and evaluation.

metadata.csv columns:

|---|---|
file_name |
relative path to the volume (join key) |
sex |

age_group |
decade band, e.g. 60-69, 70+ |

Each .nii.gz is a 216 × 176 × 200 int16 array in Hounsfield units; voxel
geometry is stored in the NIfTI affine.
Usage
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import pandas as pd, nibabel as nib
REPO = "gevaertlab/conflux-chest-ct"
meta = pd.read_csv(hf_hub_download(REPO, "metadata.csv", repo_type="dataset"))
# e.g. all cardiomegaly cases
cardio = meta[meta["Cardiomegaly"] == 1]
path = hf_hub_download(REPO, cardio.iloc[0]["file_name"], repo_type="dataset")
vol = nib.load(path).get_fdata() # (216, 176, 200) int16 Hounsfield units
Intended use
Research use — pre-training, augmentation, and benchmarking for chest-CT models where real labeled data is scarce or access-restricted. Not for clinical use. The volumes are synthetic: generated by a model, they do not correspond to real patients. The cohort was screened for training-data memorization (no copies of training scans).
