Digital Knee X-ray Images

The dataset consists of 1650 digital X-ray images of knee joint which are collected from well reputed hospitals and diagnostic centres. The X-ray images are acquired using PROTEC PRS 500E X-ray machine. Original images are 8-bit grayscale image. Each radiographic knee X-ray image is manually annotated /labelled as per Kellgren and Lawrence grades by 2 medical experts. A novel approach has been developed to automatically extract the Cartilage region (region of interest) based on density of pixels.

本数据集包含1650张膝关节数字化X射线影像，采集自多家知名医院与诊断中心。该批影像均采用PROTEC PRS 500E型X射线机采集获取。原始影像为8位灰度图像。每张膝关节放射X线影像均由2名医学专家依据Kellgren-Lawrence分级（Kellgren and Lawrence grades）标准完成人工标注。本研究基于像素密度开发了一种新型方法，可自动提取软骨区域（感兴趣区域，region of interest）。
