CBIS-DDSM-R: A Curated Radiomic Feature Dataset for Breast Cancer Classification

Dataset Summary

CBIS-DDSM-R is an open-source, radiomics-ready extension of the Curated Breast Imaging Subset of the Digital Database for Screening Mammography (CBIS-DDSM). It is designed to facilitate reproducible radiomics and quantitative imaging research in breast cancer analysis. The dataset provides a standardized preprocessing pipeline for mammograms and includes IBSI-compliant radiomics features extracted using PyRadiomics. Clinical metadata and radiomics features are combined into a unified, machine-readable format, making CBIS-DDSM-R a robust benchmark for developing and validating radiomics-based breast cancer models.

Key Features

• Standardized mammogram preprocessing pipeline
• 93 radiomics features per lesion, extracted with PyRadiomics
• Full compliance with Image Biomarker Standardisation Initiative (IBSI) guidelines
• Unified dataset combining clinical metadata and radiomics features
• Designed for reproducibility and benchmarking in breast cancer radiomics

Supported Tasks

• Breast cancer characterization
• Radiomics-based risk assessment
• Feature selection and reproducibility studies
• Benchmarking CAD and machine learning models

Dataset Structure

The dataset is organized to support straightforward machine learning workflows:

• Radiomics features stored in tabular format
• Clinical and annotation metadata aligned at the lesion level
• Clear identifiers linking features to mammographic views and cases

Intended Use

CBIS-DDSM-R is intended for research and educational purposes, particularly for:

• Radiomics and quantitative imaging studies
• Development and validation of machine learning models
• Reproducible research in medical imaging

ABSTRACT = {Early and accurate breast cancer detection is critical for patient outcomes. The Curated Breast Imaging Subset of the Digital Database for Screening Mammography (CBIS-DDSM) has been instrumental for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems. However, the lack of a standardized preprocessing pipeline and consistent metadata has limited its utility for reproducible quantitative imaging or radiomics. This paper introduces CBIS-DDSM-R, an open-source, radiomics-ready extension of the original dataset. It provides an automated pipeline for preprocessing mammograms and extracts a standardized set of 93 radiomics features per lesion, adhering to Image Biomarker Standardisation Initiative (IBSI) guidelines using PyRadiomics. The resulting dataset combines clinical and radiomics data into a unified format, offering a robust benchmark for developing and validating reproducible radiomics models for breast cancer characterization.},
