Ultrasound
Manual palpation of organs played a vital role in detecting abnormalities in open surgeries. However, surgeons
have lost this ability with the development of minimally invasive surgeries. This challenge led to the development of artificial sensors for palpating the patient's organs and tissue. The majority of research done is related to improving the measurement of tissue compliance by the development of versatile force sensors for surgical

Ultrasonic transit time difference meters are prevelent in industry due to their ease of use and lack of moving parts. But, They often suffer from a cross-sensitivity to the speed of sound in the fluid, which is dependent on the temperature. Other factors like changes in the flow profile or trigger jitter in the signal can also have a large impact on the accuracy to which measurements can be made.

This is a supplementary data file, providing the data used to evaluate the performance of our 3D fully convolutional neural network. This network removes reverberation noise from ultrasound channel data. This dataset is simulated ultrasound channel data, simulated in Field II Pro, and has artificial reverberation and thermal noise added. This dataset will be linked to our publication, once it is accepted.
