Example images from PCam. Green boxes indicate tumor tissue in center region, which dictates a positive label.
The PatchCamelyon benchmark (PCAM) consists of 327.680 color images (96 x 96px) extracted from histopathologic scans of lymph node sections. Each image is annoted with a binary label indicating presence of metastatic tissue.
Fundamental machine learning advancements are predominantly evaluated on straight-forward natural-image classification datasets and medical imaging is becoming one of the major applications of ML and thus deserves a spot on the list of go-to ML datasets. Both to challenge future work, and to steer developments into directions that are beneficial for this domain.
