Dataset for Medical Image Processing in Python Carpentries lesson

This dataset contains a collection of medical imaging files for use in the "Medical Image Processing with Python" lesson, originally developed by the Netherlands eScience Center. 

The dataset includes:

SimpleITK compatible files: MRI T1 and CT scans (training_001_mr_T1.mha, training_001_ct.mha), digital X-ray (digital_xray.dcm in DICOM format), neuroimaging data (A1_grayT1.nrrd, A1_grayT2.nrrd). Data have been downloaded from here. 

MRI data: a T2-weighted image (OBJECT_phantom_T2W_TSE_Cor_14_1.nii in NIfTI-1 format). Data have been downloaded from here. 

Example images for the machine learning lesson: chest X-rays (rotatechest.png, other_op.png), cardiomegaly example (cardiomegaly_cc0.png).

Array data: Array data for the Intro to Medical Imaging lesson. Numpy arrays were created by processing and manipulation of publicly available data i.e. from the Schepp Logan phantom and from the NYU FastMRI dataset

Additional data: to be added

These files represent various medical imaging modalities and formats commonly used in clinical research and practice. They are intended for educational purposes, allowing students to practice image processing techniques, machine learning applications, and statistical analysis of medical images using Python libraries such as scikit-image, pydicom, and SimpleITK.
