Childhood Medulloblastoma Microscopic Images

Microscopic image based analysis plays an important role in histopathological computer based diagnostics. Identification of childhood medulloblastoma and its proper subtype from biopsy tissue specimen of childhood tumor is an integral part for prognosis.The dataset is of Childhood medulloblastoma (CMB) biopsy samples. The images are of 10x and 100x microscopic magnifications, uploaded in separate folders. The images consist of normal brain tissue cell samples and CMB cell samples of different WHO defined subtypes. An excel sheet is also uploaded for ease of data description. The images are .jpeg images at standard RGB color format with 24 bit depth. The images are obtained by observing the medical slides under microscope where a camera was mounted to the computer that captures the microscopic images. We have collected a total of 202 and 153 images of 10x and 100x respectively. Number of pateints was 11. No direct pateint information was disclosed during the whole procedure and data was collected by the standard operating procedure of the medical centers. The images are obtained under clinical supervision of the medical centers.

基于显微镜图像的分析在基于计算机的病理学诊断中扮演着举足轻重的角色。从儿童肿瘤活检组织样本中识别儿童髓母细胞瘤及其恰当的WHO定义亚型，对于预后判断是一个不可或缺的环节。本数据集包含儿童髓母细胞瘤（CMB）活检样本。图像以10倍和100倍显微镜放大倍数呈现，并分别上传至独立文件夹。图像包括正常脑组织细胞样本及不同WHO定义亚型的CMB细胞样本。为便于数据描述，还上传了一份Excel表格。图像以标准RGB色彩格式，24位深度，以.jpeg格式存储。这些图像是通过在显微镜下观察医学切片获得的，显微镜上安装了摄像头，该摄像头连接至计算机，用以捕捉显微镜图像。我们共收集了202张10倍放大图像和153张100倍放大图像。患者总数为11人。在整个过程中未披露任何直接的患者信息，且数据收集遵循医疗中心的标准化操作程序。图像获取过程在医疗中心的临床监督下进行。
