Transthoracic contrast echocardiography data of a patient for super-resolution ultrasound localisation microscopy

We provide sample contrast echocardiography datasets used for generation of super-resolution ultrasound localisation microscopy (ULM) images as reported in the following paper:

Transthoracic Ultrasound Localization Microscopy of Myocardial Vasculature in Patients, Nature Biomedical Engineering, 2024. DOI:  (10.1038/s41551-024-01206-6).

The sample datasets include:

"LogCompressedCEUS.mp4' is a video of CEUS images gated within one cardiac cycle after motion correction and log compression (acquistion time: 0.36s).

"LinearScaleCEUS.mat" is a Matlab data file containing CEUS images after motion correction.

"LinearScaleCEUSAfterNoiseReduction.mat' is a Matlab data file containing above CEUS images with noise reduced, which can be processed with our SRUS software (JipengYan1995/SRUSSoftware) for localisation and tracking (A brief tutorial can be found in "Usage of sample data in SRUS Software.docx").

"RcvDataSample.mat' is a Matlab data file containing RF data in channels;

"BFInformation.mat' is a Matlab data file containing parameters for beamforming;

"Data Description.txt" contains more detailed descriptions of above data.

Data from all the 10 cardiac cycles of this patient will be available in the future.
