mBRSET, a Mobile Brazilian Retinal Dataset

The Mobile Brazilian Retinal Dataset (mBRSET) presents a pioneering collection of retinal images captured via portable cameras, encompassing a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds from Itabuna, Bahia, Brazil. Comprising 5164 images from 1291 patients diagnosed with diabetes, this dataset is augmented with clinical and demographic metadata. Its significance lies in its provision as a resource for the development and validation of algorithms tailored for portable retinal cameras, which are increasingly being deployed, particularly in low and middle-income countries. By providing a dataset of retinal fundus photos captured via portable cameras, mBRSET offers an opportunity to develop and validate computer vision models for diabetic retinopathy. This resource has the potential to contribute to advancements in medical imaging and diagnostic technologies.
