Thyroid Imaging Dataset
This dataset comprises electronic health records (EHR) of patients accompanied by thyroid ultrasound images. The patients are evenly divided into two groups: Case and Control. Case indicates that there is a confirmed thyroid cancer diagnosis of this patient, while Control means no diagnosis of cancer. The dataset includes approximately 2,000 patients, and patients are further split into approximately 1,000 Cases and 1,000 Controls. The structured EHR data encompasses a wide range of information, including demographics, encounters, diagnoses, lab results, medications, vital signs, problem lists, procedures, and social determinants of health events. Additionally, radiology and pathology reports are available.
