# Data Cleaning Report
**Generated**: 2026-02-07 19:13:04
**Updated**: 2026-02-07 (removed 3 patients with incomplete MRI channels)

## 1. Dataset Overview

| Group | Folder | Patients | Label |
|-------|--------|----------|-------|
| Normal | `normal/` | 40 | 0 |
| Lateral Ventricular Megaly (LVM) | `LVM/` | 39 | 1 |
| Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL) | `PVL/` | 40 | 2 |
| LVM + PVL | `LVM_PVL/` | 38 | 3 |

**Total patients**: 157

## 2. Data Cleaning Actions

| Action | Details |
|--------|---------|
| Removed PII | `姓名` (patient name), `住院号` (hospital ID) |
| Column translation | `编号`→`patient_id`, `检查描述`→`exam_description`, `检查结果`→`diagnosis` |
| Added columns | `group`, `group_label` (0-3), `group_name_en` |
| Format conversion | `.xlsx` → `.csv` (UTF-8) |
| Folder renaming | Chinese → English (see below) |
| Text cleaning | Removed non-breaking spaces (`\xa0`), stripped whitespace |
| Removed incomplete | 3 patients missing T2-SAG: `100-21` (LVM), `110-14`, `110-52` (LVM_PVL) |

### Folder Renaming

| Original (Chinese) | New (English) |
|-------------------|---------------|
| `正常 2026-2-6` | `normal` |
| `扩张 2026-2-6` | `LVM` |
| `软化 2026-2-6` | `PVL` |
| `扩张+软化 2026-2-7` | `LVM_PVL` |

## 5. CSV Column Description

| Column | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `patient_id` | string | Unique patient identifier (e.g., `001-441`) |
| `group` | string | Group folder name: `normal`, `LVM`, `PVL`, `LVM_PVL` |
| `group_label` | int | Numeric label: 0=Normal, 1=LVM, 2=PVL, 3=LVM+PVL |
| `group_name_en` | string | Full English group name |
| `exam_description` | string | Radiologist's MRI examination description (Chinese) |
| `diagnosis` | string | Final diagnosis conclusion (Chinese) |

## 6. Notes

- **Medical text** (`exam_description`, `diagnosis`) is kept in the original Chinese to preserve clinical accuracy. Machine translation of specialized medical radiology reports may introduce errors.
- **Original xlsx files** are retained in each folder as backup.
- **Removed patients**: 3 patients (`100-21`, `110-14`, `110-52`) were excluded due to missing T2-SAG channel. Both their DICOM folders and CSV records have been removed.
- **Disease description document**: `新生儿侧脑室扩张+脑白质软化疾病描述 AI+医生审核版本.docx` is preserved as-is (reference document, not patient data).
