Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy image database

This database provides a collection of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
images in DICOM format with all metadata and segmentations (masks) in NIfTI
format. The images were obtained from patients undergoing scintigraphy
examinations to investigate cardiac conditions such as ischemia and myocardial
infarction. The dataset encompasses a diversity of clinical cases, including
various perfusion patterns and underlying cardiac conditions. All images have
been properly anonymized, and the age range of the patients is from 20 to 90
years. This database represents a valuable source of information for
researchers and healthcare professionals interested in the analysis and
diagnosis of cardiac diseases. Moreover, it serves as a foundation for the
development and validation of image processing algorithms and artificial
intelligence techniques applied to cardiovascular medicine. Available for free
on the PhysioNet platform, its aim is to promote collaboration and advance
research in nuclear cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, while ensuring the
replicability of studies.
