Abstract: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a dangerous life-threatening condition leading to disability. Timely and high-quality diagnosis plays a huge role in the course and outcome of this disease. The gold standard in determining ICH is computed tomography. This method requires a prompt involvement of highly qualified personnel, which is not always possible, for example, in case of a staff shortage or increased workload. In such a situation, every minute counts, and time can be lost. The solution to this problem seems to be a set of diagnostic decisions, including the use of artificial intelligence, which will help to identify patients with ICH in a timely manner and provide prompt and quality medical care. However, the main obstacle to the development of artificial intelligence is a lack of high-quality datasets for training and testing. In this paper, we present a dataset including 800 brain CT scans consisting of multiple series of DICOM images with and without signs of ICH, enriched with clinical and technical parameters, as well as the methodology of its generation utilizing natural language processing tools. The dataset is publicly available, which contributes to increased competition in the development of artificial intelligence systems and their advancement and quality improvement
