Abstract | A new chest X-ray database, referred to as "ChestX-ray8", is disclosed herein, which comprises over 100,000 frontal view X-ray images of over 32,000 unique patients with the text- mined eight disease image labels (where each image can have multi-labels), from the associated radiological reports using natural language processing. We demonstrate that these commonly occurring thoracic diseases can be detected and spatially-located via a unified weakly supervised multi-label image classification and disease localization framework, which is validated using our disclosed dataset. |
