Digital Dataset of Animal Tissues for Macroscopic Pathology in Cancer Surgery: Image and Ultrasound Data

Macroscopic descriptions in anatomic pathology play a crucial role in the evaluation of tissue samples and in diagnosis and treatment decisions of patients. This applies to biological specimens in both animal and human oncology. The presented dataset aims to serve as a pioneering effort, starting with animal samples, to create a digital atlas of histopathological tissue specimens at the macroscopic level, enriched with quantitative sensory data. The dataset is intended for non-commercial purposes under FAIR use principles. The image and ultrasound data were obtained from formalin-fixed histological animal tissues of varying sizes, types, and origins, carefully washed before their digitization. Details regarding the gender, age, type of specimen material, and diagnosis can be found in the sample_metadata.json file. The dataset is diverse, encompassing a wide range of tissue specimens.
