General Information

This dataset consists of 100 pairs of mammograms, from two temporally sequential rounds. Specifically, this dataset includes the prior and recent mammograms with two mammographic views for each patient. This is a complete dataset for the detection and classification of breast masses, using sequential mammograms. It contains normal (BI-RADS 1), benign (BI-RADS 2), and biopsy-confirmed malignant cases (BI-RADS 6). For each mammogram, an image with precise annotation of each individual mass, by two expert radiologists, is provided.
