CheXmask Database: a large-scale dataset of anatomical segmentation masks for chest x-ray images

The CheXmask Database presents a comprehensive, uniformly annotated collection of chest radiographs, constructed from six public databases: CANDID-PTX, ChestX-ray8, Chexpert, MIMIC-CXR-JPG, Padchest and VinDr-CXR. The database aggregates 676,803 anatomical segmentation masks derived from images which have been processed using the HybridGNet model to ensure consistent, high- quality segmentation. To confirm the quality of the segmentations, we include in this database individual Reverse Classification Accuracy (RCA) scores for each of the segmentation masks. This dataset is intended to catalyze further innovation and refinement in the field of semantic chest X-ray analysis, offering a significant resource for researchers in the medical imaging domain.
