About Dataset

Annotated Ultrasound Liver Images

This dataset contains a collection of annotated ultrasound images of the liver, designed to aid in the development of computer vision models for liver analysis, segmentation, and disease detection. The annotations include outlines of the liver and liver mass regions, as well as classifications into benign, malignant, and normal cases.

Dataset Overview

This dataset provides ultrasound images of the liver with detailed annotations. The annotations highlight the liver itself and any liver mass regions present. The images are categorized into three classes:

Benign: Images showing benign liver conditions.
Malignant: Images showing malignant liver conditions.
Normal: Images of healthy livers.

Files Included

The dataset is organized into three zip files:

Benign.zip (16.9 MB): Contains ultrasound images classified as benign. (md5: c37fef0cb2730236a79ef57e5315995e)
Malignant.zip (46.9 MB): Contains ultrasound images classified as malignant. (md5: 63894a9e5654a69c3b94bda84071dfb0)
Normal.zip (6.6 MB): Contains ultrasound images of normal livers. (md5: a7e16299b2cf12ca4a6c3468d2e4978f)

Annotations

The ultrasound images have been annotated to show:

Outlines of the liver.
Regions of liver masses (where applicable).

These annotations make the dataset suitable for tasks such as segmentation of the liver and liver masses, as well as classification of liver conditions.

Potential Uses

This dataset can be valuable for a variety of applications, including:

Training and evaluating deep learning models for liver disease detection.
Developing algorithms for automatic segmentation of the liver and liver masses in ultrasound images.
Research in medical image analysis and computer-aided diagnosis.
Educational purposes in medical imaging and related fields.
