Radiofrequency ultrasound dataset from bone-mimicking materials

The dataset contains matlab (.mat) files related to the radiofrequency (RF) ultrasound (US) data from bone-mimicking materials. 

The analysed materials were prepared and scanned as described in the methods section of the related article, published on scientific reports journal (A. Sorriento, A. Poliziani, A. Cafarelli, G. Valenza, L. Ricotti, A novel quantitative and reference-free ultrasound analysis to discriminate different concentrations of bone mineral content, Scientific Reports, 2020, in press, doi: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-79365-0).

In particular, the US acquisitions were performed using an ArtUS EXT-1H system (Telemed, Italy) equipped with a 192 elements linear probe L15-7H40-A5 working in the frequency range 7.5-15 MHz. The RF data at the trasmission frequency of 15 MHz were analysed as described in the article to get the final results. Here, data acquired at each trasmission frequency (7.5 MHz, 10 MHz, 12MHz and 15MHz) are collected.
