<h1><strong>Dataset Content:</strong></h1>

<p>📁 This dataset contains a total of <strong>2200</strong> 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.</p>

<p>➡️ The dataset includes the following two main folders:</p>

<ul>

<li><strong>US images:</strong> 100 ultrasound images taken from each subject (1100 images in total).</li>

<li><strong>Expert mask images:</strong> Corresponding mask images created by technicians and verified by experts (1100 images in total). These masks are highly valuable for carotid artery segmentation.</li>

</ul>

<h1><strong>Image Characteristics:</strong></h1>

<ul>

<li>🖼️ <strong>Resolution:</strong> 709 x 749 x 3 (RGB)</li>

<li>💾 <strong>Format:</strong> PNG</li>

</ul>

<h1><strong>Data Acquisition Details:</strong></h1>

<p>⚙️ 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.</p>

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

<h1><strong>Potential Applications:</strong></h1>

<p>🧠 This valuable dataset can be used for various applications, including:</p>

<ul>

<li>Carotid artery segmentation 🫀</li>

<li>Carotid artery geometry measurement and evaluation 📏</li>

<li>Development and testing of computer vision algorithms 💻</li>

<li>Biomedical engineering research 🧪</li>

<li>Creation of medical education materials 📚</li>

</ul>
