+# PAX-Ray++ Dataset
+
+The **PAX-Ray++ Dataset** is a high-quality dataset designed to facilitate segmentation tasks for anatomical structures in chest radiographs. By leveraging pseudo-labeled thorax CT scans projected onto a 2D plane, this dataset provides fine-grained annotations resembling traditional X-ray imaging. This enables the development and evaluation of models tailored to anatomical segmentation in medical imaging.
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Large Dataset**: Contains **7,377 frontal and lateral view images**, each carefully pseudo-labeled.
+- **Fine-Grained Annotation**: Offers annotations for **157 distinct anatomical classes**, ensuring comprehensive coverage of thoracic anatomy.
+- **Extensive Instances**: Includes **over 2 million annotated instances**, providing a robust foundation for training and evaluation.
+- **2D Projection of 3D Data**: Combines the richness of 3D CT data with the accessibility of 2D radiographic images.
+
+---
+
+## Applications
+
+The PAX-Ray++ dataset is designed to support:
+- Anatomical segmentation in chest X-rays.
+- Development of machine learning models for medical imaging tasks.
+- Research on transfer learning between CT-derived and true radiographic images.
