Summary

Breast carcinoma is the second largest cancer in the world among women. Early detection of breast cancer has been shown to increase the survival rate, thereby significantly increasing patients' lifespans. Mammography, a noninvasive imaging tool with low cost, is widely used to diagnose breast disease at an early stage due to its high sensitivity. The recent popularization of artificial intelligence in computer-aided diagnosis creates opportunities for advances in areas such as (1) Computer-aided detection for locating suspect lesions such as mass and microcalcification, leaving the classification to the radiologist; and (2) Computer-aided diagnosis for characterizing the suspicious region of lesion and/or estimate its probability of onset; and (3) Findings of predictive image-based biomarkers by applying the computational methods to mine the potential relationships between image representation and molecular subtype, including luminal A, luminal B, HER2 positive, and Triple-negative.

However, existing publicly available mammography databases are limited by small sample size, lack of diversity in patient populations, missing biopsy confirmations and unknown molecular sub-types.  To help fill the gap, we built a database conducted on 1,775 patients from China with benign or malignant breast disease who underwent mammography examination between July 2012 and January 2016. The database consists of 3,728 mammographies from these 1,775 patients, with biopsy confirmed type of benign or malignant tumors. For 749 of these patients (1,498 mammographies) we also include patients' molecular subtypes. Image data were acquired on a GE Senographe DS mammography system.

Additional Resources for this Dataset

The NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) provides access to additional data and a cloud-based data science infrastructure that connects data sets with analytics tools to allow users to share, integrate, analyze, and visualize cancer research data.

Please note, it has been discovered that the hashes for the pixels of the following seem to be identical. TCIA does not know which is the “more correct” case for the files mentioned:

  • D1-0202 (series UID ending with 31072, 1-1.dcm image) and D2-0284 (seriesUID ending with 98151, 1-1.dcm image)
  • D1-0202 (series UID ending with 31072, 1-2.dcm image) and D2-0284 (seriesUID ending with 98151, 1-2.dcm image)
  • D1-0202 (series UID ending with 31072, 1-3.dcm image) and D2-0284 (seriesUID ending with 98151, 1-3.dcm image)

DOI: https://doi.org/10.7937/tcia.eqde-4b16

Detailed Description

  • Mammography images were collected in .TIFF format and converted to DICOM.
  • Clinical data are saved in .XLSX format. Note that for those rows where there exists BOTH a value for ID1 and ID2, TCIA image database stores ONLY the ID2 value as PatientID.
  • For the D2-XXXX dataset, it is a dataset that only involves malignant tumors. Therefore, only one side of the clinical data is reasonable, such a situation shows that the other side is benign.  We provided mammograms from both the left and right breast.
