Abstract:
This data note describes a structured dataset of lung radiomic features derived from thoracic noncontrast computed tomography examinations of 100 subjects (47 males, 53 females; aged 15-74 years). Participants were selected on the basis of the absence of known lung, pleura, and mediastinum diseases in clinical records and radiology reports, as well as systemic diseases affecting the respiratory system. The included computed tomography studies were performed on a single multidetector CT scanner (Siemens Healthineers SOMATOM go. Now), using a uniform protocol (110 kVp; reconstructed slice thickness 0.8 mm; Br60-type lung kernel). For each case, the target thin-slice DICOM series was converted to the NIfTI format. The lung lobes ("raw" masks), vessels and air pathways were segmented automatically with TotalSegmentator. In addition to "raw" lobe masks, vessel/airway-subtracted (parenchyma) masks were generated. Lobe masks (left lung - 2, right lung - 3) were also combined into the left lung, right lung, and both lungs, resulting in eight ROIs per subject for each mask type - with ("raw") and without vessel/air pathways ("parenchyma"). For each SubjectID×ROI, radiomic features (107 "original" features - shape, first-order, and texture families) were extracted via a PyRadiomics-based pipeline with fixed settings (B-spline interpolation; resampling to 1 × 1 × 1 mm; bin width 25 HU; absolute resegmentation) in two attenuation ranges: -1000 to +200 HU and -950 to 0 HU. The dataset is distributed as (i) a CT protocol table, (ii-iii) two feature tables ("raw" and parenchyma masks), (iv) a JSON file with a computational environment description, (v) a Python extraction script, and (vi) a dictionary file. This dataset can serve as a normative reference for lung radiomics, a benchmark for harmonization and robustness studies, and a control cohort for comparative modelling in diffuse lung diseases, as well as region-specific diseases requiring lobar or single-lung-specific radiomic features (such as emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome, asbestosis, and silicosis).

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
