## Image Details

### X-ray Images (1,147 images)
- Real medical chest X-ray images
- Includes COVID-19 cases and normal cases
- Various formats: JPEG, PNG
- All images are anonymized
- Suitable for educational and research purposes

### Sample Images
- CT scan and MRI sample images for demonstration
- Can be replaced with real data from other sources

## Using the Dataset

### Load Images
```python
from scripts.load_data import MedicalImagingDataset

dataset = MedicalImagingDataset(data_path='./data')
xray_images, xray_labels = dataset.load_xray_images()
print(f"Loaded {len(xray_images)} X-ray images")
```

### Preprocess Images
```python
from scripts.preprocess import preprocess_image

processed = preprocess_image('data/xray/images/image.jpg', image_type='xray')
```

### Visualize Images
```python
from scripts.visualize import visualize_medical_image

visualize_medical_image('data/xray/images/image.jpg', 'data/xray/labels/image.json')
```
