Abstract
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a critical eye disorder affecting premature infants, characterized by abnormal blood vessel development in the retina. Plus Disease, indicating severe ROP progression, plays a pivotal role in diagnosis. Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have shown parity with or surpass human experts in ROP detection, especially Plus Disease. However, the success of AI systems depends on high-quality datasets, emphasizing the need for collaboration and data sharing among researchers. To address this challenge, the paper introduces a new public dataset, FARFUM-RoP (Farabi and Ferdowsi University of Mashhad's ROP dataset), comprising 1533 ROP fundus images from 68 patients, annotated independently by five experienced childhood ophthalmologists as "Normal," "Pre-Plus," or "Plus." Ethical principles and consent were meticulously followed during data collection. The paper presents the dataset structure, patient details, and expert labels.
期刊介绍:
Scientific Data is an open-access journal focused on data, publishing descriptions of research datasets and articles on data sharing across natural sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Its goal is to enhance the sharing and reuse of scientific data, encourage broader data sharing, and acknowledge those who share their data.
The journal primarily publishes Data Descriptors, which offer detailed descriptions of research datasets, including data collection methods and technical analyses validating data quality. These descriptors aim to facilitate data reuse rather than testing hypotheses or presenting new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses.
