## 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 lung bounding boxes of those publicly available datasets.

## About the Dataset

This dataset is a total collection of 616 images with Lung Bounding Boxes of Chest X-ray Dataset of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases. The annotation file is in COCO format.

Each annotation contains two lung bounding boxes (Left Lung, Right Lung) with additional tags such as Finding, Modality, Sex, Survival, View. Each image was manually annotated by qualified radiologists.

**Warning:** Do not claim diagnostic performance of a model without a clinical study!
