Multi-modality medical image dataset for medical image processing in Python lesson

<p>This dataset contains a collection of medical imaging files for use in the <a href="https://github.com/esciencecenter-digital-skills/medical-image-processing">"Medical Image Processing with Python" lesson</a>, developed by the <a href="https://www.esciencecenter.nl/">Netherlands eScience Center</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dataset includes:</p> <ol> <li>SimpleITK compatible files:&nbsp;MRI T1 and CT scans (<em>training_001_mr_T1.mha, training_001_ct.mha</em>), digital X-ray (<em>digital_xray.dcm</em> in DICOM format), neuroimaging data (<em>A1_grayT1.nrrd, A1_grayT2.nrrd</em>). Data have been downloaded from <a href="https://insightsoftwareconsortium.github.io/SimpleITK-Notebooks/Python_html/00_Setup.html">here</a>.&nbsp;</li> <li>MRI data: a T2-weighted image (<em>OBJECT_phantom_T2W_TSE_Cor_14_1.nii</em> in NIfTI-1 format). Data have been downloaded from <a href="../records/6467772">here</a>.&nbsp;</li> <li>Example images for the machine learning lesson: chest X-rays (<em>rotatechest.png, other_op.png</em>), cardiomegaly example (<em>cardiomegaly_cc0.png</em>).</li> <li>Array data: Array data for the Intro to Medical Imaging lesson. Numpy arrays were created by processing and manipulation of publicly available data i.e. from <a href="https://doi.org/10.1109/TNS.1974.6499235">the Schepp Logan phantom</a> and from the <a href="https://fastmri.med.nyu.edu/">NYU FastMRI dataset</a></li> <li>Data for the anonymization exercises: ultrasound (<em>identifiable_us.jpg</em>) dowloaded from <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jcarter/2461223727">here</a>, and DICOM data (<em>our_sample_dicom.dcm</em>) shared for this course specifically by a colleague</li> <li>Histopathology data: histopathology slide images from <a href="https://openslide.org/">openslide</a> library samples in the freely distributable test data&nbsp;</li> </ol> <p>These files represent various medical imaging modalities and formats commonly used in clinical research and practice. They are intended for educational purposes, allowing students to practice image processing techniques, machine learning applications, and statistical analysis of medical images using Python libraries such as scikit-image, pydicom, and SimpleITK.</p>
