The Breast Ultrasound Dataset B is a collection specifically aimed at the analysis of breast ultrasound images, comprising a total of 163 images with detailed annotations. Among these images, 53 have been diagnosed as malignant, indicating the presence of breast cancer, while the remaining 110 have been identified as benign, showing non-cancerous breast conditions. The composition of this dataset provides researchers with a unique resource for developing and testing breast cancer detection algorithms. In particular, for the automated identification and classification of breast lesions using deep learning and computer vision techniques, the Breast Ultrasound Dataset B offers a range of challenging cases. As these images are derived from real patient cases, they offer researchers the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the characteristics of breast lesions, as well as supporting the validation and improvement of various image processing and machine learning techniques. The availability of the Breast Ultrasound Dataset B is of significant importance in advancing research in the field of automated breast cancer detection, especially in the context of a relative lack of public datasets.

Image and annotation example.
The file structure of the Breast Ultrasound Dataset B dataset is as follows. There are two main folders: 'GT' and 'original'. The 'GT' folder contains the segmentation annotations, and the 'original' folder contains the original images. All files end with the .png extension.
