Description

The dataset contains x-ray images, mammography, from breast cancer screening at the Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, collected by principal investigator Fredrik Strand at Karolinska Institutet. The purpose for compiling the dataset was to perform AI research to improve screening, diagnostics and prognostics of breast cancer.

The dataset is based on a selection of cases with and without a breast cancer diagnosis, taken from a more comprehensive source dataset.

1,103 cases of first-time breast cancer for women in the screening age range (40-74 years) during the included time period (November 2008 to December 2015) were included. Of these, a random selection of 873 cases have been included in the published dataset.

A random selection of 10,000 healthy controls during the same time period were included. Of these, a random selection of 7,850 cases have been included in the published dataset.

For each individual all screening mammograms, also repeated over time, were included; as well as the date of screening and the age. In addition, there are pixel-level annotations of the tu

Description of study design

Case-control cohort regarding breast cancer diagnosis. All 1103 cases of first-time breast cancer for women in the screening age range (40-74 years) during the included time period (late 2008 to Dec 31, 2015) were included. A random selection of 10,000 healthy controls during the same time period were included. Of these, a random selection of 873 of diagnosed cases and of 7850 healthy controls, designated “non-hidden”, have been included in the published dataset.

Cases: Consecutive breast cancer diagnoses within the population of women who were invited to mammography screening before Dec 31, 2015.
Controls: Randomly selected women who were not diagnosed with breast cancer before Dec 31, 2015.
