Dataset of deformed ultrasound images and signals under controlled indentation

Each RFi.mat file comprises 3152 rows representing the signal along the temporal axis, and 256 columns corresponding to the number of A lines in the image. The Excel file has 5 tabs: -The first tab contains, for each of the 6 acquired image sequences, the frame number in the sequence, the corresponding indentation of the probe (in mm), the recorded voltage value on the force sensor (V), and the corresponding calculated force value (N).

Thus, each image in the 6 sequences is identified by a frame number, an indentation, and a force value. -The second tab provide the acquisition parameters of the ultrasound images (frequency, depth, gain, etc.) performed using the SonixTablet ultrasound system from Ultrasonix (now bk medical). -The third tab contains stress-strain curves, the mean, and the standard deviation of the Young's modulus for both the inclusion and the background of the phantom.

The Young's modulus is obtained through compression tests conducted by an electromechanical testing machine (Bose, Electroforce 3200) on 10 small cylindrical samples taken from the background and the inclusion. -The fourth tab contains the geometry and dimensions of the phantom. -The fifth tab contains the recipe used to make the gelatin phantom.
