UTA4: Rates Dataset

Several datasets are fostering innovation in higher-level functions for everyone, everywhere. By providing this repository, we hope to encourage the research community to focus on hard problems. In this repository, we present our severity rates (BIRADS) of clinicians while diagnosing several patients from our User Tests and Analysis 4 (UTA4) study. Here, we provide a dataset for the measurements of severity rates (BIRADS) concerning the patient diagnostic. Work and results are published on a top Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) conference named AVI 2020 (page). Results were analyzed and interpreted from our Statistical Analysis charts. The user tests were made in clinical institutions, where clinicians diagnose several patients for a Single-Modality vs Multi-Modality comparison. For example, in these tests, we used both prototype-single-modality and prototype-multi-modality repositories for the comparison. On the same hand, the hereby dataset represents the pieces of information of both BreastScreening and MIDA projects. These projects are research projects that deal with the use of a recently proposed technique in literature: Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). From a developed User Interface (UI) and framework, these deep networks will incorporate several datasets in different modes. For more information about the available datasets please follow the Datasets page on the Wiki of the meta information repository. Last but not least, you can find further information on the Wiki in this repository. We also have several demos to see in our YouTube Channel, please follow us.

The main contributions described here are threefold: 1) The design of an advanced visual interface for multimodal diagnosis of breast cancer (BreastScreening); 2) Insights from the field comparison of Single-Modality vs Multi-Modality screening of breast cancer diagnosis with 31 clinicians and 566 images; and 3) The visualization of the two main types of breast lesions in the following image modalities: (i) MammoGraphy (MG) in both Craniocaudal (CC) and Mediolateral oblique (MLO) views; (ii) UltraSound (US); and (iii) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). We summarize our work with recommendations from the radiologists for guiding the future design of medical imaging interfaces.},

Prerequisites

The following list is showing the required dependencies for this project to run locally:

Git or any other Git or GitHub version control tool
Python (3.5 or newer)

Here are some tutorials and documentation, if needed, to feel more comfortable about using and playing around with this repository:

Usage

Usage follow the instructions here to setup the current repository and extract the present data. To understand how the hereby repository is used for, read the following steps.

Installation

At this point, the only way to install this repository is manual. Eventually, this will be accessible through pip or any other package manager, as mentioned on the roadmap.

Nonetheless, this kind of installation is as simple as cloning this repository. Virtually all Git and GitHub version control tools are capable of doing that. Through the console, we can use the command below, but other ways are also fine.

git clone https://github.com/MIMBCD-UI/dataset-uta4-rates.git

Optionally, the module/directory can be installed into the designated Python interpreter by moving it into the site-packages directory at the respective Python directory.

Demonstration

Please, feel free to try out our demo. It is a script called demo.py at the src/ directory. It can be used as follows:

python src/demo.py

Just keep in mind this is just a demo, so it does nothing more than downloading data to an arbitrary destination directory if the directory does not exist or does not have any content. Also, we did our best to make the demo as user-friendly as possible, so, above everything else, have fun! 😁

Roadmap

We need to follow the repository goal, by addressing the thereby information. Therefore, it is of chief importance to scale this solution supported by the repository. The repository solution follows the best practices, achieving the Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) specifications.

Besides that, one of our goals involves creating a configuration file to automatically test and publish our code to pip or any other package manager. It will be most likely prepared for the GitHub Actions. Other goals may be written here in the future.

Contributing

This project exists thanks to all the people who contribute. We welcome everyone who wants to help us improve this downloader. As follows, we present some suggestions.

Issuer

Either as something that seems missing or any need for support, just open a new issue. Regardless of being a simple request or a fully-structured feature, we will do our best to understand them and, eventually, solve them.

Developer

We like to develop, but we also like collaboration. You could ask us to add some features… Or you could want to do it yourself and fork this repository. Maybe even do some side-project of your own. If the latter ones, please let us share some insights about what we currently have.

Dataset Resources

To publish our datasets we used a well known platform called Kaggle. To access our project’s Profile Page just follow the link. For the purpose, three main resources uta4-singlemodality-vs-multimodality-nasatlx, uta4-sm-vs-mm-sheets and uta4-sm-vs-mm-sheets-nameless are published in this platform. Moreover, the Single-Modality vs Multi-Modality is available in our MIMBCD-UI Project page on data.world. Last but not least, datasets are also published at figshare and OpenML platforms.
