VinDr-Mammo: A large-scale benchmark dataset for computer-aided detection and diagnosis in full-field digital mammography

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer and the leading type of cancer death. Mammography is the recommended imaging modality for periodic breast cancer screening. A few datasets have been published to develop computer-aided tools for mammography analysis. However, these datasets either have a limited sample size or consist of screen-film mammography (SFM), which have been replaced by full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in clinical practices. This project introduces a large-scale full-field digital mammography dataset of 5,000 four-view exams, which are double read by experienced mammographers to provide cancer assessment and breast density following the Breast Imaging Report and Data System (BI-RADS). Breast abnormalities that require further examination are also marked by bounding rectangles.
