+## Dataset description
+The LIDC-IDRI dataset contains diagnostic and lung cancer screening thoracic CT scans with annotated lesions, created through a multi-institutional public–private partnership. Each of the 1,018 cases underwent a two-phase review by four thoracic radiologists to comprehensively identify lung nodules without requiring consensus, supporting CAD system development and evaluation.
+
+**Number of CT volumes**: 997
+
+**CT type**: Standard-dose and low-dose helical thoracic CTs
+
+**CT body coverage**: Chest
+
+**Does the dataset include any ground truth annotations?**: Yes
+
+**Original GT annotation targets**: Lung nodules
+
+**Number of annotated CT volumes**: -
+
+**Annotator**: Human
+
+**Acquisition centers**: Seven academic centers and eight medical imaging companies
+
+**Pathology/Disease**: Lung nodules (benign or malignant)
