  ## Dataset Characterization
58
 
59
  - **Data collection method:** Synthetic.
60
- - **Ground truth:** Simulated 3-D microbubble positions are stored as zea custom
61
- elements (`bubble_x`, `bubble_y`, and `bubble_z`).
62
- - **Bubble populations:** Monodisperse bubbles with a radius of 2.4 micrometres
63
- and 5% standard deviation, and a polydisperse SonoVue population.
64
- - **Acquisition system:** An experimentally calibrated virtual ATL P4-1
65
- transducer with 96 elements, realistic 3-D plane-wave pressure fields, a
66
- 62.5 MHz RF sampling rate, and 12 transmit waveforms. The overall probe
67
- dimensions are 0.02854 m × 0.016 m; each element is 0.000245 m wide and
68
- 0.016 m high. Its official nominal operating band is 1.0e6–4.0e6 Hz.
69
- - **Simulation scale:** Up to 27.5 microbubbles/cm³, with 250 random bubble
70
- distributions per population.
71
- - **Bubble-response model:** The implementation is a modified private derivative
72
- of the simulator described in Zorgdrager et al. (2025). It uses a custom,
73
- parallelized radial microbubble-response solver based on the Rayleigh–Plesset
74
- equation and adds 3-D realistic pressure-field calculation and coupling for
75
- the calibrated virtual ATL P4-1. The exact source-code version was not
76
- separately recorded; the dataset was generated with the internal label
77
- **private dataset-generation release 2026-07-12**. The solver source is
78
- private and is not distributed with this dataset.

  ## Dataset Format
81
 
82
- Each bubble distribution is stored in one zea HDF5 file containing 12 pulse
83
- tracks. The raw channel data in every `tracks/track_i/data/raw_data` dataset
84
- have shape `(1, 1, 8446, 96, 1)`: one frame, one transmit, 8,446 time samples,
85
- 96 receive elements, and one real RF channel. RF values are `float32`; their
86
- absolute amplitude unit remains source-defined.

110
- data. The probe geometry is stored at `probe/probe_geometry` with shape
111
- `(96, 3)`, one `(x, y, z)` position per receive element in metres. Element dimensions are stored at `probe/element_width` (`0.000245` m) and `probe/element_height` (`0.016` m). Overall probe dimensions are stored in metres as custom fields `probe_overall_width` (`0.02854`) and `probe_overall_height` (`0.016`).

- identifiers.
182
-
183
- ## Reconstruction
184
-
185
- All pulse tracks use identical verified pipeline files stored in the `pipeline/`
186
- folder: `pipeline_track_<index>_<label>.yaml` for each of the 12 tracks. Each
187
- file defines the verified processing chain:
188
-
189
- `demodulate → downsample (factor 1) → delay-and-sum beamform → envelope detect → normalize → log compress`
190
-
191
- `--pulse` selects the pulse by its stored label and applies the corresponding
192
- track's `t_peak`, while the same pipeline operations are applied to every
193
- track. These commands reconstruct REF (`track_6`) for both populations:
194
-
195
- ```bash
196
- python reconstruct.py \
197
- --path Monodispers/RFDATA00001.hdf5 \
198
- --pulse REF \
199
- --output REF_monodisperse.png
200
-
201
- python reconstruct.py \
202
- --path SonoVue/RFDATA00001.hdf5 \
203
- --pulse REF \
204
- --output REF_sonovue.png
205
- ```
206
-
207
- To override the selected track's pipeline, pass `--config-path`, for example
208
- `pipeline/pipeline_track_6_REF.yaml`. Each track stores its beamforming
209
- peak-time reference as `custom/track_i_t_peak`. Reconstruction
210
- applies the value belonging to the selected track. `--path` must point directly
211
- to one `.hdf5` acquisition file.
212
 
213
  ## Data Validation
214
 
215
- All 500 HDF5 files were checked for the expected zea container structure, 12
216
- ordered and labelled tracks, RF shape `(1, 1, 8446, 96, 1)`, and track-specific
217
- pulse metadata. The original submission passed zea 0.1.2 validation. Representative RF traces and pulse
218
- waveforms were also compared with their pulse-folder sources with no mismatch.

  ## Known Issues
232
 
233
- - The transmit setup is an unfocused plane wave by design: steering angle is
234
- zero, no finite focus distance is used (`infinite focus`), transmit delays
235
- are zero, and apodization is unity for every transmit element. These are
236
- intentional simulation settings rather than missing calibration fields.
237
- - RF amplitude and several custom-element units remain source-defined and
238
- should be confirmed against the simulator documentation.
239
- - The HDF5 files store only the official nominal bandwidth endpoints
240
- (1.0–4.0 MHz). The measured transfer-function −6 dB bounds (approximately
241
- 1.52–3.70 MHz) and corresponding 83.4% fractional bandwidth are documented
242
- in this README but are not stored as HDF5 data fields.
243
- - The simulator is a private, unpublished derivative of the cited simulator;
244
- no public software package or Git commit is required to use the released RF
245
- data. The internal dataset-generation release label is recorded in the HDF5
246
- metadata and should be used when referring to this generation run.
247
  - No train/validation/test split is provided.
248
- - `reconstruct.py` imports `utils.py`; keep both files together.
249
 
250
  ## Ethical Considerations
251
 
252
- The dataset is synthetic, so participant consent, de-identification, and IRB
253
- approval are not applicable. The contributors confirm that the simulation code,
254
- calibrated inputs, source data, and incorporated assets may be redistributed
255
- under the declared CC BY 4.0 license, consistent with the accepted proposal and
256
- the steering-group IP policy.

  ## Dataset Characterization
49
 
50
  - **Data collection method:** Synthetic.
51
+ - **Ground truth:** Simulated 3-D microbubble positions are stored as zea custom elements (`bubble_x`, `bubble_y`, and `bubble_z`).
52
+ - **Bubble populations:** Monodisperse bubbles with a radius of 2.4 micrometres and 5% standard deviation, and a polydisperse SonoVue population.
53
+ - **Acquisition system:** An experimentally calibrated virtual ATL P4-1 transducer with 96 elements, realistic 3-D plane-wave pressure fields, a 62.5 MHz RF sampling rate, and 12 transmit waveforms. The overall probe dimensions are 0.02854 m × 0.016 m; each element is 0.000245 m wide and 0.016 m high. Its official nominal operating band is 1.0e6–4.0e6 Hz.
54
+ - **Simulation scale:** Up to 27.5 microbubbles/cm³, with 250 random bubble distributions per population.
55
+ - **Bubble-response model:** The implementation is a modified private derivative of the simulator described in Zorgdrager et al. (2025). It uses a custom, parallelized radial microbubble-response solver based on the Rayleigh–Plesset equation and adds 3-D realistic pressure-field calculation and coupling for the calibrated virtual ATL P4-1. The exact source-code version was not separately recorded; the dataset was generated with the internal label **private dataset-generation release 2026-07-12**. The solver source is private and is not distributed with this dataset.
56
+
57
+ ## Processing the Dataset
58
+
59
+ The acquisitions can be processed with the `reconstruct.py` [script](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF/blob/main/datasets/twente-microbubblesim/reconstruct.py) as provided in the [OpenH-RF GitHub repository](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF), together with the pipeline definitions in `pipeline/` and the [zea library](https://github.com/tue-bmd/zea). The script streams the data from the Hugging Face Hub.
60
+
61
+ Every pulse track has its own verified pipeline file, `pipeline/pipeline_track_<index>_<label>.yaml`, all defining the same chain:
62
+
63
+ `demodulate → downsample (factor 1) → delay-and-sum beamform → envelope detect → normalize → log compress`
64
+
65
+ Each pipeline's `parameters:` block carries that pulse's beamforming peak-time reference `t_peak` (copied from `custom/track_i_t_peak`, identical in every file), the lateral field of view and the dynamic range. `zea` renders the B-mode straight from the Hub with one of these files; pass the matching track index with `--track`. Try it out with the following command:
66
+
67
+ ```bash
68
+ zea process \
69
+ --dataset hf://nvidia/OpenH-RF/twente-microbubblesim/data/Monodispers/RFDATA00002.hdf5 \
70
+ --config hf://nvidia/OpenH-RF/twente-microbubblesim/pipeline/pipeline_track_6_REF.yaml \
71
+ --track 6
72
+ ```
73
+
74
+ In `reconstruct.py`, set `ZEA_FILE` to one `.hdf5` acquisition and `PULSE` to the pulse label (for example `REF`, `DPT` or `L1.7`); the script picks the matching track and pipeline and overlays the ground-truth bubble positions on the B-mode.

The current release uses the migrated names; older revisions use the original names. The loading helper accepts both; new consumers should use the migrated paths.

  ## Data Validation
146
 
147
+ All 500 HDF5 files were checked for the expected zea container structure, 12 ordered and labelled tracks, RF shape `(1, 1, 8446, 96, 1)`, and track-specific pulse metadata. The original submission passed zea 0.1.2 validation. Representative RF traces and pulse waveforms were also compared with their pulse-folder sources with no mismatch.

  ## Known Issues
161
 
162
+ - The transmit setup is an unfocused plane wave by design: steering angle is zero, no finite focus distance is used (`infinite focus`), transmit delays are zero, and apodization is unity for every transmit element. These are intentional simulation settings rather than missing calibration fields.
163
+ - The HDF5 files store only the official nominal bandwidth endpoints (1.0–4.0 MHz). The measured transfer-function −6 dB bounds (approximately 1.52–3.70 MHz) and corresponding 83.4% fractional bandwidth are documented in this README but are not stored as HDF5 data fields.
164
+ - The simulator is a private, unpublished derivative of the cited simulator; no public software package or Git commit is required to use the released RF data. The internal dataset-generation release label is recorded in the HDF5 metadata and should be used when referring to this generation run.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
165
  - No train/validation/test split is provided.
 
166
 
167
  ## Ethical Considerations
168
 
169
+ The dataset is synthetic, so participant consent, de-identification, and IRB approval are not applicable. The contributors confirm that the simulation code, calibrated inputs, source data, and incorporated assets may be redistributed under the declared CC BY 4.0 license, consistent with the accepted proposal and the steering-group IP policy.
