# CETUS — Cardiac Echo Training and Ultrasound Segmentation

## Description

The CETUS dataset contains **45 patients** of real 3D echocardiography volumes
acquired at two cardiac phases:

- **End-Diastole (ED)** — `patientXX_ED.nii.gz`
- **End-Systole (ES)** — `patientXX_ES.nii.gz`

Ground-truth left-ventricular segmentation masks are provided as
`patientXX_ED_gt.nii.gz` and `patientXX_ES_gt.nii.gz`.

## Format

- **Volume format**: NIfTI (`.nii.gz`)
- **Typical shape**: varies per patient (see metadata in NIfTI headers)

## Usage

```python
import SimpleITK as sitk

img = sitk.ReadImage("dataset/patient01/patient01_ED.nii.gz")
volume = sitk.GetArrayFromImage(img)  # shape: (Z, Y, X)
print(f"Shape: {volume.shape}, dtype: {volume.dtype}")
```
