I am looking for a database where I can get the conventional 2D chest X-Ray and chest HRCR/CT for the same patient so I can compare both modalities and can see the differences.
It would be very helpful if anyone can help me.
Thank you in advance
Hi Mohammad,
Belarus dataset have both chest X-rays and CT scans of the same patient. you can download from their website:

Normally speaking, it is not adequate from point of view of dose to propose chest radiography and CT examination. CT modalities (e.g. spiral CTs) yield to far higher dose values than conventional x-ray chest examinations. If someone accounts the modern flat-panel based x-ray modalities, where the x-ray image is generated on a computer screen with a very good signal to noise ratio, it remains ambiguous why to suggest another examination.
This can be justified only if there are findings from the x-ray radiography that are important. For example, implications fro lung cancer.
Hence, such a database should be searched out, to my opinion, for certain x-ray findings. Significant is to discriminate between conventional and digital x-ray modalities and between modern and obsolete CT modalities that might be still in use.
Why not reformate the CT to a "Kind of" xray: Reformate the CT to coronar view and increase the slice thickness to 30cm or more. This will give you an impression of anatomy and pathology as seen in XRay.
kind regards
I wanted a database of fractured images of bones for my medical imaging project. Already searched in mini-MIAS but did not get one. If anyone knows about other links,kindly do suggest.
Thank you
Hello,
