公开多中心乳腺MRI数据集,助力AI辅助诊断研究
A European Multi-Center Breast Cancer MRI Dataset
- 整合六家欧洲医院影像数据,覆盖真实临床差异
- 包含741例检查,含恶性、良性及无病灶样本
- 支持AI模型训练与性能对比,适合医学影像研究者
早期发现乳腺癌对改善患者预后至关重要。尽管乳腺钼靶仍是主要筛查手段,但磁共振成像(MRI)正被越来越多推荐作为致密型乳腺组织或高风险女性的补充工具。然而,多参数乳腺MRI的采集与解读耗时且需专业技能,限制了其在临床中的规模化应用。人工智能方法虽在辅助MRI判读方面展现出潜力,但其发展受限于大规模、多样化且公开可获取的数据集。为弥补这一空白,我们发布了来自五个欧洲国家六家医疗机构的公开多中心乳腺MRI数据集。该数据集包含741例女性的筛查或诊断性乳腺MRI检查,涵盖恶性、良性及非病灶病例。数据使用异构扫描仪、场强和采集协议获取,反映了真实的临床变异性。此外,我们基于Transformer模型进行了基准实验,展示了数据集的应用潜力,并为未来方法比较提供了参考性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Early detection of breast cancer is critical for improving patient outcomes. While mammography remains the primary screening modality, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly recommended as a supplemental tool for women with dense breast tissue and those at elevated risk. However, the acquisition and interpretation of multiparametric breast MRI are time-consuming and require specialized expertise, limiting scalability in clinical practice. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods have shown promise in supporting breast MRI interpretation, but their development is hindered by the limited availability of large, diverse, and publicly accessible datasets. To address this gap, we present a publicly available, multi-centre breast MRI dataset collected across six clinical institutions in five European countries. The dataset comprises 741 examinations from women undergoing screening or diagnostic breast MRI and includes malignant, benign, and non-lesion cases. Data were acquired using heterogeneous scanners, field strengths, and acquisition protocols, reflecting real-world clinical variability. In addition, we report baseline benchmark experiments using a transformer-based model to illustrate potential use cases of the dataset and to provide reference performance for future methodological comparisons.
