Data underlying the publication: "Reliability and Accuracy of A-mode Ultrasound for Non-invasive Bone Surface Detection"

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:This is data that was collected for study titled: Reliability and Accuracy of A-mode Ultrasound for Non-invasive Bone Surface Detection. As the title suggests, we were trying to validate the reliability and accuracy of A-mode Ultrasound measurement. We want to know if the operators who observing the A-mode signal to identify bone peak are actually selecting the correct bone peak. So we conducted an experiment where we measure A-mode ultrasound while simultaneously performing CT-scan on a cadaveric leg.<br>GENERAL DATA DESCRIPTION:There are two main data, structured into two folders, CT (for data derived from CT-scan) and US (for data derived from A-mode Ultrasound data). Each folders has two groups of data, corresponding to the number of CT-scan we conducted (there were two scans). In every folder there is README.txt, explaining the brief description of each folders and files. To use and process the data, a custom software made from MATLAB was developed.

【总体描述】本数据集采集自一项题为《用于无创骨表面检测的A型超声（A-mode Ultrasound）的可靠性与准确性》的研究。正如标题所示，本研究旨在验证A型超声测量的可靠性与准确性，即探究观测A型超声信号以识别骨峰值的操作者能否准确选取正确的骨峰值。为此，我们开展了一项实验：在对尸体腿部进行CT扫描（CT-scan）的同时采集A型超声数据。<br>【总体数据描述】本数据集包含两类核心数据，分别置于CT与US两个文件夹中：CT文件夹存放CT扫描衍生数据，US文件夹存放A型超声采集数据。每个文件夹内均包含两组数据，对应本次实验开展的两次CT扫描。两个文件夹内均附带README.txt文件，用于说明各文件夹及文件的简要信息。为方便数据的使用与处理，本研究开发了基于MATLAB的自定义软件，相关信息请参阅https://github.com/dacvm/Amode_Validation.git
