An open, publicly curated dataset of chest X-ray and CT images from patients positive or suspected of COVID-19 and other viral/bacterial pneumonias (MERS, SARS, ARDS), with metadata and hierarchical labels. It includes a dataloader example and is designed for medical imaging research rather than model benchmarking.

Use cases

• train a deep learning model on covid chest x-rays
• find ct images of covid-19 patients for research
• build a pneumonia classification dataset
• study differences between covid and other viral pneumonias on imaging
• get labeled x-ray data with patient metadata
• evaluate medical imaging models responsibly

When to choose

• you need real chest X-ray/CT images of COVID-19 and related pneumonias with labels and metadata
• you are doing medical imaging research and want an ethically approved open dataset
• you want data compatible with torchxrayvision dataloaders

When to avoid

• you want a large benchmark dataset for leaderboard-style model competitions
• you need clinically validated diagnostic performance claims
• you need an actively growing dataset - updates have slowed since 2022
