The data contains 300 skulls. The data is divided into three groups with 100 scans in three categories Females, Males, and Mix. The purpose of the project was to generate a machine learning algorithm to be able reconstruct missing parts of the skull for cranioplasty. Each scan was verified to ensure normal skull shape. To ensure data privacy the faces have been deblurred with an in-house developed algorithm.

Keywords: Radiology, Skull, CT, Computed tomography, Face blur, Male, Female.

Annotation

There are no annotations performed on the data set as segmentation of the skull shape is trivial by use of thresholding. All annotation in the project was fully automated.

File formats

Each study is zipped into one file. All files are stored in DICOM format.
