Symbrain: A large-scale dataset of MRI images for neonatal brain symmetry analysis
This paper presents an annotated dataset of brain MRI images designed to advance the field of brain symmetry study. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has gained interest in analyzing brain symmetry in neonatal infants, and challenges remain due to the vast size differences between fetal and adult brains. Classification methods for brain structural MRI use scales and visual cues to assess hemisphere symmetry, which can help diagnose neonatal patients by comparing hemispheres and anatomical regions of interest in the brain. Using the Developing Human Connectome Project dataset, this work presents a dataset comprising cerebral images extracted as slices across selected portions of interest for clinical evaluation . All the extracted images are annotated with the brain's midline. All the extracted images are annotated with the brain's midline. From the assumption that a decrease in symmetry is directly related to possible clinical pathologies, the dataset can contribute to a more precise diagnosis because it can be used to train deep learning model application in neonatal cerebral MRI anomaly detection from postnatal infant scans thanks to computer vision. Such models learn to identify and classify anomalies by identifying potential asymmetrical patterns in medical MRI images. Furthermore, this dataset can contribute to the research and development of methods using the relative symmetry of the two brain hemispheres for crucial diagnosis and treatment planning.
