Adding these images to the covid-chestxray-dataset ? about covid-19-image-repository

I have seen the fantastic COVID ChestXray Dataset. Great work! We deliberately chose a license that explicitly allows remixing (CC BY 3.0). We would love to see our data integrated. Please include:

• DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.12275009
• location: Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
• license: CC BY 3.0
• url: https://github.com/ml-workgroup/covid-19-image-repository

We will update this repo constantly. The next data upload is expected next Monday.

Currently, this repo only includes low resolution, low bitrate PNG files. We also have anonymized high-quality Nifti files. Unfortunately, these files are too large to upload them into the repo. At the moment, I send out Dropbox links (sigh) to any interested party. However, we expect to have a direct download solution shortly. If you are interested, I can send you the Nifti files.

This is great! Yes please share the NIFTI files ( [email protected] ).

I will write a script so it will automatically merge new releases.

If you gzip the NIFTI files they are probably very small right? As an nii.gz? I read the GitHub repo size limit is 100GB.

Otherwise, check out Academic Torrents. I am using it to distribute COVID CT scans.

The X-Ray files are up to 25 MB (nii.gz). However, we will include CT scans shortly. These files can exceed 1 GB easily. Github has a hard limit of 100 MB per file max. Academic Torrents sounds interesting. I will take a closer look.

Hello @ieee8023,

we have released version 2.0 of the data set. Additionally, the un-altered nifti files are publicly available.

Best,
@liob
