UniToBrain Dataset

The University of Turin (UniTO) released the open-access dataset UniTOBrain collected for the homonymous Use Case 3 in the DeepHealth project (https://deephealth-project.eu/). UniToBrain is a dataset of Computed Tomography (CT) perfusion images (CTP). The dataset includes 100 training subjects and 15 testing subjects used in a submitted publication for the training and the testing of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN, see for details: https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.05992, https://paperswithcode.com/paper/neural-network-derived-perfusion-maps-a-model, https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.13.21249757v1). At this stage, the UniTO team released this dataset privately, but soon it will be public. This is a subsample of a greater dataset of 258 subjects that will be soon available for download at https://ieee-dataport.org/.<br> CTP data from 258 consecutive patients were retrospectively obtained from the hospital PACS of Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino (Molinette). CTP acquisition parameters were as follows: Scanner GE, 64 slices, 80 kV, 150 mAs, 44.5 sec duration, 89 volumes (40 mm axial coverage), injection of 40 ml of Iodine contrast agent (300 mg/ml) at 4 ml/s speed.
