|

-
This is an in-vivo full-synthetic-aperture (FSA) ultrasound raw channel-data
|
| 39 |
-
dataset for research on sound speed estimation, phase aberration correction,
|
| 40 |
-
and learned beamforming from pre-beamformed data. Each acquisition is a
|
| 41 |
-
multi-frame FSA capture from a 180-element linear array: raw baseband IQ
|
| 42 |
-
channel data alongside reference B-mode images. The dataset is a collection of volunteer scans including 15 adult subjects, 590
|
| 43 |
-
acquisitions of predominantly superficial anatomy acquired on a Siemens
|
| 44 |
-
ACUSON Sequoia development scanner. **Data type: in-vivo human.**

correctly. Reference B-modes rendered by this pipeline are in

-

|
| 168 |
-
than assuming frame 0 is usable.
|
| 169 |
-

|
| 171 |
## Known Issues
|
| 172 |
|
| 173 |
-
- Time-axis length (`n_ax` = `raw_data.shape[2]`) varies per acquisition
|
| 174 |
-
(native lengths range ~700–2270 samples); each file is stored at its own
|
| 175 |
-

|
| 176 |
- `view_difficulty` annotations exist for the first acquisition round only.
|

|
| 178 |
## Ethical Considerations
|
| 179 |
|
| 180 |
-

-
(PHI). Acquisitions were performed under Siemens Healthineers internal

-
ultrasound research safety, human-safety, and consent procedures. Metadata

-
labels, file names, and source identifiers are screened against the HIPAA Safe

## Dataset Characterization
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
+
- **Data Collection Method:** healthy adult volunteers in a non-clinical research setting.
|
| 53 |
+
- **Labeling Method:** human-annotated subject/anatomy metadata and per-frame quality tags (`contact`, `challenging`).
|
| 54 |
+
- **Acquisition system:** Siemens ACUSON Sequoia development scanner, 10L4 180-element linear array (0.201 mm pitch, 36.2 mm aperture; elements 0.2 × 9 mm); transmit center frequency 6.5 MHz; baseband IQ sampled at 13.33 MHz. Full synthetic aperture multi-static acquisition: 180 single-element transmit events per frame, all 180 elements received.
|
| 55 |
+
|
| 56 |
+
## Processing the Dataset
|
| 57 |
+
|
| 58 |
+
The acquisitions can be processed with the `pipeline.yaml` definition in this folder and the [zea library](https://github.com/tue-bmd/zea).
|
| 59 |
+
|
| 60 |
+
`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:
|
| 61 |
+
|
| 62 |
+
```bash
|
| 63 |
+
zea process \
|
| 64 |
+
--dataset hf://nvidia/OpenH-RF/siemens-healthineers/data/Subject_03_acq_008.hdf5 \
|
| 65 |
+
--config hf://nvidia/OpenH-RF/siemens-healthineers/pipeline.yaml
|
| 66 |
+
```
|
| 67 |
+
|
| 68 |
+
Alternatively, you can use the `reconstruct.py` [script](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF/blob/main/datasets/siemens-healthineers/reconstruct.py) as provided in the [OpenH-RF GitHub repository](https://github.com/open-h/OpenH-RF).
