<p>Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. It kills more children younger than 5 years old each year than any other infectious disease, such as HIV infection, malaria, or tuberculosis. Diagnosis is often based on symptoms and physical examination. Chest X-rays may help confirm the diagnosis.</p>

<h3>Content</h3>

<p>This dataset contains 5,856 validated Chest X-Ray images. The images are split into a training set and a testing set of independent patients. Images are labeled as (<em>disease</em>:NORMAL/BACTERIA/VIRUS)-(<em>randomized patient I</em>D)-(<em>image number of a patient</em>). For details of the data collection and description, see the referenced paper below.</p>

<p>According to the paper, the images (anterior-posterior) were selected from retrospective cohorts of pediatric patients of one to five years old from Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center, Guangzhou.</p>

<p>A previous version (v2) of this dataset is available here: <a aria-label="https://www.kaggle.com/paultimothymooney/chest-xray-pneumonia (opens in a new tab)" target="_blank" href="https://www.kaggle.com/paultimothymooney/chest-xray-pneumonia">https://www.kaggle.com/paultimothymooney/chest-xray-pneumonia</a>. Note that the files names are irregular in v2, but they are fixed in the new version (v3).</p>

<h3>Inspiration</h3>

<p>This data will be useful for developing/training/testing classification models with convolutional neural networks.</p>
