Patient breast MRI images and computational breast phantom data for research in patient-derived realistic breast modelling

<p>The data is comprised of two parts: 1) patient DICOM MRI images and 2) 3D matrix of a computational breast phantom.</p> <ol> <li>The DICOM images are anonymised patient breast MRI images of a female patient diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. The obtaining of the patients&rsquo; DICOM images is approved by the Ethics Committee of Medical University of Varna. The acquisition was performed with GE Signa HDxt MRI scanner. The images are from a T1-weigthed Axial multi-phase VIBRANT (3-phase) sequence and with voxel size of 0.7 mm x 0.7 mm x 0.8 mm. Contrast agent is present. The image set can be opened with any standard DICOM reader.</li> <li>The computational breast phantom is derived from the above mentioned dataset. The phantom is in the form of a 3D matrix saved as a MATLAB data file (.mat file). Each voxel has an assigned Hounsfield Unit value depending on its classification: air = 0, adipose tissue = -152, glandular tissue = 42, tumour = 64, skin = 108. The data file can be opened with MATLAB or Octave.</li> </ol>
