2. **GPU-Accelerated Beamforming (DAS):**

- **Aperture & Apodization:** 128-element Hanning window apodization and an F-number of 1.5.
|
| 166 |
- **Dual Angle-Compounding:** Beamforming for B-mode and power Doppler is performed twice with opposite receive angles ($+15^{\circ}$ and $-15^{\circ}$). The final high-resolution beamformed image (HRI) is the average of these two acquisitions:
|
| 167 |
$$HRI = \frac{HRI_{+15^{\circ}} + HRI_{-15^{\circ}}}{2}$$
|

- **Reconstruction Grid:** Cartesian coordinates mapped by a `PixelMap` representing a lateral range of $[-19, 19]\text{ mm}$ and axial depth of $[10, 60]\text{ mm}$ at $0.1\text{ mm}$ spatial resolution.

| 57 |
|
| 58 |
- **Data Collection Method:** In vivo imaging of human femoral veins.
|
| 59 |
- **Labeling Method:** Label contains target vessel (Anatomy), view direction (Longitudinal), and physiological condition (Contraction + head up tilt).
|
| 60 |
+
- **Acquisition system:** Raw RF data was acquired from programmable research scanners (US4R, US4US, Warsaw, Poland) equipped with an AL2442 linear array transducer.
|
| 61 |
+
|
| 62 |
+
## Processing the Dataset
|
| 63 |
+
|
| 64 |
+
The acquisitions can be processed with the `pipeline.yaml` definition in this folder and the [zea library](https://github.com/tue-bmd/zea).
|
| 65 |
+
|
| 66 |
+
`zea` streams the data from the Hugging Face Hub and processes it according to the pipeline. You can try it out with the following command:
|
| 67 |
+
|
| 68 |
+
```bash
|
| 69 |
+
zea process \
|
| 70 |
+
--dataset hf://nvidia/OpenH-RF/waterloo-largeartery/data/Acq5.hdf5 \
|
| 71 |
+
--config hf://nvidia/OpenH-RF/waterloo-largeartery/pipeline.yaml \
|
| 72 |
+
--n-frames 1 \
|
| 73 |
+
--save-as png
|
| 74 |
+
```
|
| 75 |
+
|
| 76 |
+
Alternatively, you can use the `reconstruct.py` [script](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF/blob/main/datasets/waterloo-largeartery/reconstruct.py) as provided in the [OpenH-RF GitHub repository](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF).
|
| 77 |
+
|
| 78 |
+
Swap `--n-frames 1 --save-as png` for `--save-as gif` to get the cine loop. In the script, `ZEA_FILE`, `FRAME`, `POWER_THRESHOLD` (the power-Doppler mask threshold, in dB), `VMAX` (velocity colour-scale maximum) and `NO_DEALIAS` at the top select what is reconstructed and overlaid.

## Beamforming and Processing
|
| 148 |
|
| 149 |
+
1. **Pre-Filtering:** Channel RF data is pre-filtered to remove hardware artifacts and out-of-band noise using a 5 MHz bandpass filter before beamforming.
|
| 150 |
+
2. **GPU-Accelerated Beamforming (DAS):** Beamforming is carried out via a GPU-accelerated Delay-and-Sum (DAS) module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 151 |
- **Aperture & Apodization:** 128-element Hanning window apodization and an F-number of 1.5.
|
| 152 |
- **Dual Angle-Compounding:** Beamforming for B-mode and power Doppler is performed twice with opposite receive angles ($+15^{\circ}$ and $-15^{\circ}$). The final high-resolution beamformed image (HRI) is the average of these two acquisitions:
|
| 153 |
$$HRI = \frac{HRI_{+15^{\circ}} + HRI_{-15^{\circ}}}{2}$$
|
| 154 |
- **Reconstruction Grid:** Cartesian coordinates mapped by a `PixelMap` representing a lateral range of $[-19, 19]\text{ mm}$ and axial depth of $[10, 60]\text{ mm}$ at $0.1\text{ mm}$ spatial resolution.
|
| 155 |
+
3. **Clutter Filtering:** Clutter filtering is performed on the beamformed ensemble using a high-pass wall filter (normalized cut-off frequencies of 0.05 and 0.1, attenuation of 100 dB).
|
| 156 |
+
4. **Multi-Angle Doppler Frequency Estimation:** Angle-specific Doppler frequencies are computed using an ensemble size of 64 frames with a step size of 1.
|
| 157 |
+
- For conventional vector velocity estimation, we used the following Tx-Rx angles: Tx: [-10, -10, 10, 10]; Rx: [-10, 10, -10, 10]
|
| 158 |
+
- For dealiased vector velocity estimation, we used the following Tx-Rx angles: Tx: [-10, -10, -10,-10, 10, 10]; Rx: [-10, -3, 6, 10, -6, 3,10]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 159 |
- Color Doppler map is selected as the first of these (Tx: -10, Rx = -10)

5. **Vector Doppler Velocity Estimation:** Lateral ($v_x$) and axial ($v_z$) velocity components are computed from the multi-angle Doppler frequency estimates using GPU-accelerated least-squares estimation. Lateral ($v_x$) and axial ($v_z$) dealiased velocity components are computed from the multi-angle Doppler frequency estimates using GPU-accelerated extended least-squares estimation.

The full LITMUS processing pipeline (GPU DAS beamforming + multi-angle vector Doppler) is documented by the contributors. That documentation is provided for provenance and reproducibility; it depends on the LITMUS core Python package and the raw acquisition frames, so it is not runnable from this folder alone.

## Data Validation

`reconstruct.py` builds a `zea.Pipeline` of DAS beamforming → envelope detection → normalization → log-compression **in code** and reconstructs a B-mode directly from `raw_data`, showing the raw-to-image flow without any config file. It also saves the pipeline to `pipeline.yaml` as a shareable recipe. Comparing the reconstruction against the stored (LITMUS) B-mode is a sanity check that the acquisition parameters and probe geometry are recorded correctly, and serves as a reproducible reference reconstruction.

When the vector-flow fields (`vector_velocity_x/z`/`vector_velocity_x/z_deal` + `power_doppler`) are present, a third panel overlays the vector velocity field on the stored B-mode. The overlay uses `draw_velocity_field`, a single self-contained (numpy + matplotlib) helper reproduced inside `reconstruct.py` from the LITMUS core Python package (`litmus.core_py.visualization`), so the script has no dependency on the full LITMUS GPU stack.
