Description

Prerequisites
Description

Machine Manufacturers have an established effect on deep neural network performance - https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.1148/ryai.220165

Although it is understood that X-Ray machine manufacturer information cannot be released at a DICOM-level, it would be useful if summary table could be provided for the MIMIC-CXR dataset, outlying the overall machine manufacturers used and the proportion of images acquired by each machine. This would aid greatly in discussing model generalisabilities when using the MIMIC-CXR dataset.

Research direction

Start with the MIMIC-CXR documentation and the linked paper on machine-manufacturer effects, then determine what manufacturer metadata is available without exposing DICOM-level information. Done means providing a summary table of the manufacturers represented in MIMIC-CXR and the proportion of images acquired by each.
