HRCTCov19-a high-resolution chest CT scan image dataset for COVID-19 diagnosis and differentiation

Introduction Computed tomography (CT) was a widely used diagnostic technique for COVID-19 during the pandemic. High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT), is a type of computed tomography that enhances image resolution through the utilization of advanced methods. Due to privacy concerns, publicly available COVID-19 CT image datasets are incredibly tough to come by, leading to it being challenging to research and create AI-powered COVID-19 diagnostic algorithms based on CT images. Data description To address this issue, we created HRCTCov19, a new COVID-19 high-resolution chest CT scan image collection that includes not only COVID-19 cases of Ground Glass Opacity (GGO), Crazy Paving, and Air Space Consolidation but also CT images of cases with negative COVID-19. The HRCTCov19 dataset, which includes slice-level and patient-level labeling, has the potential to assist in COVID-19 research, in particular for diagnosis and a distinction using AI algorithms, machine learning, and deep learning methods. This dataset, which can be accessed through the web at http://databiox.com , includes 181,106 chest HRCT images from 395 patients labeled as GGO, Crazy Paving, Air Space Consolidation, and Negative.
