-
Pre-beamformed ultrasound channel-capture data acquired with a curved-array transducer
|
| 33 |
-
(GEC1-6D, 192 elements, 3.4 MHz center frequency) from a **flow phantom**, accompanied with simultaneously recorded camera images. The phantom contains a flow chamber through which a water with optical and acoustical scatterers is pumped at controlled flow rates. Six acquisitions are provided,
|
| 34 |
-
spanning three pump voltage levels (80 V, 120 V, 160 V) and two transmit voltage levels
|
| 35 |
-
(3.4 V, 7.1 V), each capturing two transmit types: a **short imaging pulse** and a
|
| 36 |
-
**chirp** waveform. Each acquisition contains 750 frames of single plane-wave RF channel
|
| 37 |
-
data. The intended task is **blood-flow imaging and Doppler processing** (RFP task group 6.2).
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
### Phantom
|
| 40 |
-
The front and the back of the flow chamber are made from medical-grade gelatin to facilitate ultrasound transmission. A cylinder with a diameter of 6 mm is placed inside the flow chamber which generates a von Kármán vortex street. The distance between the walls of the flow chamber is about 3 cm. A schematic of the setup is shown in Figure 1.

## Processing the Dataset
|
| 93 |
+
|
| 94 |
+
The acquisitions can be processed with the `reconstruct.py` [script](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF/blob/main/datasets/twente-vortexflow/reconstruct.py) as provided in the [OpenH-RF GitHub repository](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF), together with the pipeline definitions in this folder and the [zea library](https://github.com/tue-bmd/zea). The script streams the data from the Hugging Face Hub.
|
| 95 |
+
|
| 96 |
+
`ZEA_FILE` and `FRAME` at the top of the script select the acquisition and frame; each track is reconstructed with its own pipeline (`pipeline_short_imaging_pulse.yaml`, `pipeline_chirp.yaml`).

All files are in the **zea** format (HDF5 + zea schema, current release `zea_version` 0.1.6). Each `.hdf5` file contains two tracks:

|
|
| 145 |
|
| 146 |
## Data Validation
|
| 147 |

`reconstruct.py` uses one pipeline YAML file per track:
|
| 149 |
- `pipeline_short_imaging_pulse.yaml` — for the short imaging pulse track
|
| 150 |
- `pipeline_chirp.yaml` — for the chirp track
