3D Mammography (Digital Breast Tomosynthesis) Dataset

Overview

This dataset contains annotated 3D mammography (Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, DBT) imaging data for research in breast cancer detection using machine learning.

The dataset was developed through a collaboration between iMerit, Segmed, and Advocate Health.
