Introduced by Xiaosong Wang et al. in ChestX-ray8: Hospital-scale Chest X-ray Database and Benchmarks on Weakly-Supervised Classification and Localization of Common Thorax Diseases1 Jan 2017 archive 2025-07-28

ChestX-ray14 is a medical imaging dataset which comprises 112,120 frontal-view X-ray images of 30,805 (collected from the year of 1992 to 2015) unique patients with the text-mined fourteen common disease labels, mined from the text radiological reports via NLP techniques. It expands on ChestX-ray8 by adding six additional thorax diseases: Edema, Emphysema, Fibrosis, Pleural Thickening and Hernia.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

12 shown of 12 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 237. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
