+
+## Motivation
+
+In this pandemic situation, our aim is to help researchers to find out a solution. In order to do that we are aiming to provide them with proper datasets that makes the process easier.
+
+A [repository](https://github.com/ieee8023/covid-chestxray-dataset) to build a public open dataset of chest X-ray and CT images of patients which are positive or suspected of COVID-19 or other viral and bacterial pneumonias (MERS, SARS, and ARDS.) was created by [Joseph Paul Cohen](https://github.com/ieee8023). Data have been collected from public sources as well as through indirect collection from hospitals and physicians.
+
+We are providing segmentations of those publicly available datasets.
+
+---
+
+## About the Dataset
+
+This dataset is a total collection of 100 images with Segmentations of Chest X-ray Dataset of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases. The annotation file is in COCO format.
+
+Each annotation contains segmentations of Anatomical classes (Left lung, Right lung, Cardiomediastinum, Airways), Pathology classes (Ground glass opacities, Consolidation, Pleural effusion, Pneumothorax), Objects (Endotracheal tube, Central veinous line, Monitoring probes, Nasogastric tube, Chest tube, Tubings). Each image was manually annotated by qualified radiologists.
+
+**Warning:** Do not claim diagnostic performance of a model without a clinical study!
