 # CBIS-DDSM-R: A Curated Radiomic Feature Dataset for Breast Cancer Classification
 
-CBIS-DDSM-R is a curated and reproducible version of the Curated Breast Imaging Subset of DDSM (CBIS-DDSM). This project provides a fully automated pipeline for downloading, processing, and extracting radiomic features from CBIS-DDSM, enabling reproducible experiments in breast cancer imaging research.
+## 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.},
