This COVID-19 dataset consists of Non-COVID and COVID cases of both X-ray and CT images. The associated dataset is augmented with different augmentation techniques to generate about 17100 X-ray and CT images. The dataset contains two main folders, one for the X-ray images, which includes two separate sub-folders of 5500 Non-COVID images and 4044 COVID images. The other folder contains the CT images. It includes two separate sub-folders of 2628 Non-COVID images and 5427 COVID images.

Chest X-ray vs Chest CT for evaluation for COVID-19 patients
Chest X-ray can be the screening tool to evaluate a patient with COVID-19 with respiratory symptoms, to detect extent of infection, if any, and any underlying cardiovascular issues.
However, if available, Chest CT may be able to detect early changes in COVID-19 pneumonia even in apparently asymptomatic cases.

All changes that can be detected on imaging are non-specific and occur in any viral pneumonia and some interstitial lung diseases. So they can not be used to diagnose COVID-19. The diagnosisof COVID-19 is made in the context of the patient's history and the result of a PCR test for SARS-CoV-2. Findings on imaging may be suggestive but can not be diagnostic.
