Dataset Content:

📁 This dataset contains a total of 2200 high-quality ultrasound images. The images were taken from 11 different subjects, with each person examined at least once on the left and right sides.

➡️ The dataset includes the following two main folders:

• US images: 100 ultrasound images taken from each subject (1100 images in total).
• Expert mask images: Corresponding mask images created by technicians and verified by experts (1100 images in total). These masks are highly valuable for carotid artery segmentation.

Image Characteristics:

• 🖼️ Resolution: 709 x 749 x 3 (RGB)
• 💾 Format: PNG

Data Acquisition Details:

⚙️ The images were obtained using a Mindary UMT-500Plus ultrasound machine with an L13-3s linear probe. Among the 11 participants in the study group, 2 were examined using the vascular modality, and 8 using the carotid modality.

⏱️ Time series (DICOM) images were converted to PNG format and cropped appropriately.

Potential Applications:

🧠 This valuable dataset can be used for various applications, including:

• Carotid artery segmentation 🫀
• Carotid artery geometry measurement and evaluation 📏
• Development and testing of computer vision algorithms 💻
• Biomedical engineering research 🧪
• Creation of medical education materials 📚
