Freehand ultrasound without external trackers
<blockquote> <p><strong>We have collected a new large freehand ultrasound dataset and are organising a MICCAI2024&2025 Challenges (<a href="https://github-pages.ucl.ac.uk/tus-rec-challenge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TUS-REC Challenge</a>). Check <a href="../records/11178509" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Part 1</a> and <a href="../records/11180795" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Part 2</a> of the training dataset for TUS-REC2024, and <a href="https://zenodo.org/records/15224704" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Train Data</a> for TUS-REC2025. </strong></p> </blockquote> <p>Freehand US scans were acquired on both left and right forearms from 19 volunteers, using Ultrasonix machine (BK, Europe) with a curvilinear probe (4DC7-3/40), tracked by an NDI Polaris Vicra (Northern Digital Inc., Canada). On each forearm, the US probe was moved, for the study purpose, in a straight line, a ‘C’ shape and a ‘S’ shape, in a distal-to-proximal direction. These three scans were repeated, with the curvilinear transducer held (thus the US planes) perpendicular of and parallel to the forearm. B-mode images with median level of speckle reduction were recorded at ~20 fps. Each scan included frames between 36 and 430 with a size of 480×640 pixels, equivalent to a probe travel distance approximately between 100 and 200 mm. </p> <p>A total of 12 scans were acquired from each volunteer, recorded in a single ‘*.mha’ file, with the filename indicating the acquisition time. For example, “LH_Ver_S_20220425_141454.mha” means a scan acquired on 14:14:54 April 25th, 2022. The ‘valid_frames.csv’ file contains the 6 “protocols” with each arm from each volunteer: 1) RH_Par_L (right arm, straight line shape with the probe parallel to the forearm); 2) RH_Par_C (right arm, ‘C’ shape with the probe parallel to the forearm); 3) RH_Par_S (right arm, ‘S’ shape with the probe parallel to the forearm); 4) RH_Ver_L (right arm, straight line shape with the probe perpendicular of the forearm); 5) RH_Ver_C (right arm, ‘C’ shape with the probe perpendicular of the forearm); 6) RH_Ver_S (right arm, ‘S’ shape with the probe perpendicular of the forearm); 7) LH_Par_L (left arm, straight line shape with the probe parallel to the forearm); 8) LH_Par_C (left arm, ‘C’ shape with the probe parallel to the forearm); 9) LH_Par_S (left arm, ‘S’ shape with the probe parallel to the forearm); 10) LH_Ver_L (left arm, straight line shape with the probe perpendicular of the forearm); 11) LH_Ver_C (left arm, ‘C’ shape with the probe perpendicular of the forearm); 12) LH_Ver_S (left arm, ‘S’ shape with the probe perpendicular of the forearm). The ‘start’ and ‘end’ denote the start and end frame indices of a scan, respectively, in each ‘*.mha’ file. </p> <p>US images, transformation matrix obtained from the tracker, and corresponding csv file, for each scan can be found in Freehand_US_data.zip. In the “calib_matrix.csv” file, we provide a calibration matrix and a time difference in sec, obtained from our calibration experiments. </p> <p>A baseline code is provided in this <a href="https://github.com/ucl-candi/freehand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">repo</a>.</p> <p>If you find this data set useful for your research, please consider citing some of the following works: </p> <ul> <li>Qi Li, Ziyi Shen, Qian Li, Dean C.

The training dataset is available at <a href="../doi/10.5281/zenodo.11178508" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Part1</a>, <a href="../doi/10.5281/zenodo.11180795" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Part2</a>, and <a href="../doi/10.5281/zenodo.11355499" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Part3</a>.</strong></p> <p>Acquisition devices and config: The 2D US images were acquired using an Ultrasonix machine (BK, Europe) with a curvilinear probe (4DC7-3/40). The associated position information of each frame was recorded by an optical tracker (NDI Polaris Vicra, Northern Digital Inc., Canada). The acquired US frames were recorded at 20 fps, with an image size of 480×640, without speckle reduction. The frequency was set at 6MHz with a dynamic range of 83 dB, an overall gain of 48% and a depth of 9 cm. </p> <div> <p>Scanning protocol: Both left and right forearms of volunteers were scanned. For each forearm, the US probe moves in three different trajectories (straight line shape, "C" shape, and "S" shape), in a distal-to-proximal direction followed by a proximal-to-distal direction, with the US plane perpendicular of and parallel to the scanning direction. The validation dataset contains 72 scans in total, 24 scans associated with each subject.</p> <p>For detailed information please refer to the <a href="https://github-pages.ucl.ac.uk/tus-rec-challenge/TUS-REC2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Challenge website</a>. Baseline code is also provided, which can be found at this <a href="https://github.com/QiLi111/tus-rec-challenge_baseline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">repo</a>.</p> <p>Dataset structure: </p> <ul> <li>Folder <code>frames</code>: contains three folders (one subject per folder), each with 24 scans. Each .h5 file corresponds to one scan, storing image of each frame within this scan. Key-value pair and name of each .h5 file are explained below. <ul> <li>“frames” - All frames in the scan; with a shape of [N,H,W], where N refers to the number of frames in the scan, H and W denote the height and width of a frame. </li> <li>Notations in the name of each .h5 file: “RH”: right arm; “LH”: left arm; “Per”: perpendicular; “Par”: parallel; “L”: straight line shape; “C”: C shape; “S”: S shape; “DtP”: distal-to-proximal direction; “PtD”: proximal-to-distal direction; For example, “RH_Per_L_DtP.h5” denotes a scan on the right forearm, with ultrasound probe perpendicular of the forearm sweeping along straight line, in distal-to-proximal direction.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <div> <ul> <li>Folder <code>transfs</code>: contains three folders (one subject per folder), each with 24 scans. Each .h5 file corresponds to one scan, storing transformation of each frame within this scan. Key-value pair and name of each .h5 file are explained below. <ul> <li>“tforms” - All transformations in the scan; with a shape of [N,4,4], where N is the number of frames in the scan, and the transformation matrix denotes the transformation from tracker tool space to camera space. </li> <li>Notations in the name of each .h5 file is the same as in folder <code>frames</code>.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Folder <code>landmark</code>: contains three .h5 files. Each corresponds to one subject, storing coordinates of landmarks for 24 scans of this subject. For each scan, the coordinates are stored in numpy array with a shape of [20,3]. The first column is the index of frame; the second and third columns denote the coordinates of landmarks in the image coordinate system.</li> <li><code>calib_matrix.csv</code>: The calibration matrix was obtained using a pinhead-based method. The "scaling_from_pixel_to_mm" and "spatial_calibration_from_image_coordinate_system_to_tracking_tool_coordinate_system" are provided in the “calib_matrix.csv”.</li> <li><code>dataset_keys.h5</code>: stores the paths to all the scans of the data set. Keys in “dataset_keys.h5” denotes all the available scans in validation set, in a format of “sub%03d__%s” where %03d denotes folder name, and %s denotes the scan name. For example, “sub050__LH_Par_C_DtP” means the scan in folder “050”, with file name of “LH_Par_C_DtP.h5”</li> </ul> <div> <p><strong>Data Usage Policy:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The training and validation data provided may be utilized within the research scope of this challenge and in subsequent research-related publications. However, commercial use of the training and validation data is prohibited. In cases where the intended use is ambiguous, participants accessing the data are requested to abstain from further distribution or use outside the scope of this challenge.</li> <li><span>If you use our dataset in your publication, </span>please cite the challenge paper and some of the following optional articles: <ul> <li>Challenge paper: <ul> <li><strong>Qi Li et al.
