Digital Image Database

JSRT Database

The Standard Digital Image Database of chest radiographs with and without a lung nodule was developed as part of the research activities of the Academic Committee of the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology (JSRT) in 1998 (*1), supported by the Japan Radiological Society (JRS) and with the cooperation of healthcare facilities in Japan and the United States for providing case materials. Since then, the JSRT database has been used by a number of researchers in the world for various research purposes such as image processing, image compression, evaluation of image display, picture archiving and communication system (PACS), and computer-aided diagnosis with various machine learnings. After 24 years of distribution for researchers all over the world and their use of this database in various studies (*2-20), the number of citations of this database become 326 (191 articles, 123 proceedings, 15 reviews, and 7 book chapters) by Web of Science Core Collection in February 19, 2021.

Descriptions of the JSRT database

The database includes 154 conventional chest radiographs with a lung nodule (100 malignant and 54 benign nodules) and 93 radiographs without a nodule which were digitized by a laser digitizer with a 2048x2048 matrix size (0.175-mm pixels) and a 12-bit gray scale (no header, big-endian raw data). The database also includes additional information such as; patient age, gender, diagnosis (malignant or benign), X and Y coordinates of nodule, simple diagram of nodule location. Lung nodule images were classified into five groups according to the degrees of subtlety.

In addition, recently, we started to provide a mini JSRT database which can be utilized for beginners to learn various deep learning technique for medical images such as image classification, image segmentation, regression analysis, super resolution, denoise, and autoencoder.
