- Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
16
-
17
- Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
18
- conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share
19
- original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright
20
- and certain other rights specified in the public license below. The
21
- following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not
22
- exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses.
23
-
24
- Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are
25
- intended for use by those authorized to give the public
26
- permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by
27
- copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are
28
- irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms
29
- and conditions of the license they choose before applying it.
30
- Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before
31
- applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the
32
- material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any
33
- material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-
34
- licensed material, or material used under an exception or
35
- limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors:

37
-
38
- Considerations for the public: By using one of our public
39
- licenses, a licensor grants the public permission to use the
40
- licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If
41
- the licensor's permission is not necessary for any reason--for
42
- example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to
43
- copyright--then that use is not regulated by the license. Our
44
- licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain
45
- other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of
46
- the licensed material may still be restricted for other
47
- reasons, including because others have copyright or other
48
- rights in the material. A licensor may make special requests,
49
- such as asking that all changes be marked or described.
50
- Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to
51
- respect those requests where reasonable. More considerations

160
- authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
161
- necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
162
- technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
163
- Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
164
- simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)

177
- apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
178
- Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
179
- Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
180
- Material.
181
-
182
- 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
183

185

186
- the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as

-
191
- 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
192
- licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
193
- privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
194
- the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
195
- assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited

280
- replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
281
- Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
282
-
283
-
284
- Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

-
333
- c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the

363
- without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
364

  ## Dataset Description
29
 
30
- This dataset contains pre-beamformed radio-frequency (RF) channel data from
31
- in-vivo human cardiac ultrasound acquisitions of 12 distinct adult healthy
32
- volunteers, aged 26–33 years. The operator attempted a parasternal long-axis (PLAX)
33
- view for every participant. Each participant file contains eight separately acquired 100-frame
34
- tracks (3s,33Hz) that vary the transmit encoding: focused fundamental, focused
35
- pulse-inversion harmonic, wide fundamental, wide pulse-inversion harmonic,
36
- plane wave, diverging wave, Hadamard-coded aperture, and random binary-coded
37
- aperture.
38
 
39
- The data were acquired on a Verasonics Vantage 256 research platform with a
40
- Philips S5-1 phased-array probe. The contribution is intended to support generalized
41
- reconstruction, transmit-encoding research, REFoCUS recovery, compressed
42
- sensing, and comparisons of fundamental and second-harmonic imaging.

  ## Dataset Description
39
 
40
+ This dataset contains pre-beamformed radio-frequency (RF) channel data from in-vivo human cardiac ultrasound acquisitions of 12 distinct adult healthy volunteers, aged 26–33 years. The operator attempted a parasternal long-axis (PLAX) view for every participant. Each participant file contains eight separately acquired 100-frame tracks (3s,33Hz) that vary the transmit encoding: focused fundamental, focused pulse-inversion harmonic, wide fundamental, wide pulse-inversion harmonic, plane wave, diverging wave, Hadamard-coded aperture, and random binary-coded aperture.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
41
 
42
+ The data were acquired on a Verasonics Vantage 256 research platform with a Philips S5-1 phased-array probe. The contribution is intended to support generalized reconstruction, transmit-encoding research, REFoCUS recovery, compressed sensing, and comparisons of fundamental and second-harmonic imaging.

97

98
+ The acquisitions can be processed with the `reconstruct.py` [script](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF/blob/main/datasets/tue-cardiac/reconstruct.py) as provided in the [OpenH-RF GitHub repository](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF), together with the `pipelines/*.yaml` definitions in this folder and the [zea library](https://github.com/tue-bmd/zea). The script streams the data from the Hugging Face Hub.
99
+
100
+ Each file holds the eight transmit-encoding tracks. Set `ZEA_FILE`, `TRACK` and `FRAME` at the top of the script, together with the matching pipeline under `pipelines/` as `CONFIG` (`PIPELINE_FOR_TRACK` lists which track uses which; see also [Data Validation](#data-validation)). The image is written to `assets/`.
