SPIE journal announces public access to largest multi-lesion medical imaging dataset

(SPIE--International Society for Optics and Photonics) A paper published today in the Journal of Medical Imaging - " DeepLesion: Automated mining of large-scale lesion annotations and universal lesion detection with deep learning, " -- announced the open availability of the largest CT lesion-image database accessible to the public. Such data are the foundations for the training sets of machine-learning algorithms; until now, large-scale annotated radiological image datasets, essential for the development of deep learning approaches, have not been publicly available.
