Summary

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance (in the form of a clot) originated from elsewhere in the body and carried through the bloodstream (embolism).

PE affects about 430,000 people each year in Europe and between 300,000 to 600,000 cases in the US, resulting in between 50,000 to 200,000 deaths.

About this Dataset

The present dataset, FUMPE (standing for Ferdowsi University of Mashhad's Pulmonary Embolism dataset) consists of computed-tomography angiography (CTA) images for pulmonary embolism (PE) of 35 different patients. Annotations were made by two radiologist experts, proving the ground-truth with the aid of a semi-automated image-processing software tool.
