This paper converts the description of the ChestX-ray8 dataset \cite{Wang2017} from the prose of its original paper into the structured format of a dataset datasheet \cite{Gebru2018}. 

ChestX-ray8 is a dataset with over 100,000 chest X-ray images and their labels. It was created and made publicly available by the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center \cite{Health2017}. It originally had images for eight diseases, enhanced later to cover fourteen diseases, resulting in the other name by which this dataset is known, ChestX-ray14. The paper describing the dataset still refers to it as \say{ChestX-ray8}.

Information for the datasheet was compiled from:

The datasheet is written from the first-person point of view, as if the authors had created it, to make it more realistic. Whenever applicable, the source for the information used in the datasheet is cited.
