John Thompson FROC dataset

This is referred to in the book as the "JT" dataset. It consists of 92 cases, 47 of which are diseased, interpreted in two treatments ("1" = CT images acquired for attenuation correction, "2" = diagnostic CT images), by nine radiographers using the FROC paradigm. Each case was a slice of an anthropomorphic phantom 47 with inserted nodular lesions (max 3 per slice). The maximum number of NLs per case, over the entire dataset was 7.

Format

A list with 3 elements: $ratings, $lesions and $descriptions; $ratings contain 3 elements, $NL, $LL and $LL_IL as sub-lists; $lesions contain 3 elements, $perCase, $IDs and $weights as sub-lists; $descriptions contain 7 elements, $fileName, $type, $name, $truthTableStr, $design, $modalityID and $readerID as sub-lists;

  • rating$NL, num [1:2, 1:9, 1:92, 1:7], ratings of non-lesion localizations, NLs

  • rating$LL, num [1:2, 1:9, 1:47, 1:3], ratings of lesion localizations, LLs

  • rating$LL_ILNA, this placeholder is used only for LROC data

  • lesions$perCase, int [1:47], number of lesions per diseased case

  • lesions$IDs, num [1:47, 1:3], numeric labels of lesions on diseased cases

  • lesions$weights, num [1:47, 1:3], weights (or clinical importances) of lesions

  • descriptions$fileName, chr, "dataset05", base name of dataset in `data` folder

  • descriptions$type, chr "FROC", the data type

  • descriptions$name, chr "THOMPSON", the name of the dataset

  • descriptions$truthTableStr, num [1:2, 1:9, 1:92, 1:4], truth table structure

  • descriptions$design, chr "FCTRL", study design, factorial dataset

  • descriptions$modalityID, chr [1:2] "1" "2", modality labels

  • descriptions$readerID, chr [1:4] "1" "2" "3" "4", reader labels
