BUS-BRA: A Breast Ultrasound Dataset for Assessing Computer-aided Diagnosis Systems

The BUS-BRA Dataset is a publicly available dataset of anonymized breast ultrasound (BUS) images of 1,064 patients that underwent routinary breast studies. The BUS dataset contains biopsy-proven tumor cases and BI-RADS annotations in categories 2, 3, 4, and 5. In addition, the dataset also contains ground truth delineations that divide the BUS images into tumoral and normal regions. A full description of the BUS-BRA dataset can be found in the following article:
