Fused Radiology-Pathology Lung (Lung-Fused-CT-Pathology)

Data collection and analysis was provided by Case Western Reserve University. This is the first attempt of mapping the extent of Invasive Adenocarcinoma onto in vivo lung CT. The mappings constitute ground truth of disease and may be used to further investigate the imaging signatures of Invasive Adenocarcinoma in ground glass pulmonary nodules. Patient with small ground glass nodules with >2 histology slices per nodule were included. Patients with solid large nodules (>40mm), with <3 histology slices or with histology slices showing substantial artifacts were excluded from this study.

本数据集的采集与分析工作由凯斯西储大学（Case Western Reserve University）完成。本研究首次尝试将浸润性腺癌（Invasive Adenocarcinoma）的病变范围匹配至活体肺部CT影像中。该匹配结果可作为疾病的金标准标注数据，可用于进一步探究肺磨玻璃结节中浸润性腺癌的影像学特征。本研究纳入每枚结节对应组织学切片数量大于2的小型肺磨玻璃结节患者，同时排除存在直径大于40mm的实性大结节、组织学切片数不足3枚，或组织学切片存在明显伪影的患者。
