Neonatal Jaundice Assessment: A Dataset of Forehead and Sternum Images for Bilirubin Estimation

This dataset includes images and clinical data aimed at estimating bilirubin levels in newborns to enhance non-invasive neonatal jaundice detection through deep learning. Images were captured using a digital microscope connected to a smartphone via USB, saved in jpg format with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Dataset Contents: Images: Forehead and sternum images of 300 infants, saved in jpg format (640 x 480 pixels). Data Collection Process: Location: Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad, Iran Duration: January 1, 2023 - May 30, 2023 Methodology: TSB levels were determined via blood samples. TcB levels were measured using the MBJ20 bilirubin meter (range: 0 to 32 mg/dL). Images were taken within 30 minutes of TSB and TcB measurements to ensure consistency. Ethics: Approved by the ethical committee at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (IR.MUMS.MEDICAL.REC.1400.271), with informed written and verbal consent from parents. Usage Notes: This dataset is ideal for researchers focusing on the development and validation of non-invasive methods for bilirubin estimation using image processing. It is particularly useful for studies related to the detection and management of neonatal jaundice.

本数据集包含图像与临床数据，旨在通过深度学习提升新生儿黄疸无创检测效能，实现新生儿胆红素水平的无创估算。图像通过USB连接智能手机的数码显微镜采集，以JPG（JPG）格式存储，分辨率为640×480像素。
数据集内容：图像部分包含300名婴儿的前额与胸骨区域图像，均以JPG（JPG）格式存储，分辨率为640×480像素。
数据采集流程：采集地点为伊朗马什哈德盖姆医院；采集周期为2023年1月1日至2023年5月30日；采集方法如下：通过血样测定总胆红素（TSB）水平，采用MBJ20型胆红素检测仪（测量范围：0~32 mg/dL）测定经皮胆红素（TcB）水平。所有图像均在总胆红素与经皮胆红素检测后的30分钟内拍摄，以保证数据一致性。
伦理审查：本数据集已通过马什哈德医科大学伦理委员会批准（批准号：IR.MUMS.MEDICAL.REC.1400.271），且已获得患儿家长的书面及口头知情同意。
使用说明：本数据集非常适合专注于基于图像处理的胆红素估算无创方法开发与验证的研究人员，尤其适用于与新生儿黄疸检测及管理相关的研究课题。
