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.

【总体说明】：本数据集为研究《A-mode超声无创骨表面检测的可靠性与准确性》所采集的数据。如标题所示，本研究旨在验证A-mode超声（A-mode Ultrasound）测量的可靠性与准确性，探究观测A-mode信号以识别骨峰的操作人员能否准确选定正确的骨峰。为此我们开展了一项实验，在对尸体腿部进行CT扫描的同时采集A-mode超声数据。<br>【总体数据说明】：本数据集包含两类主要数据，分为两个文件夹存储：CT文件夹存放CT扫描衍生数据，US文件夹存放A-mode超声数据。每个文件夹下均包含两组数据，对应本次实验开展的两次CT扫描结果。每个文件夹内均附有README.txt文件，用于说明各文件夹与文件的简要信息。本数据集的使用与处理需依托一款基于MATLAB开发的定制软件，详细信息请参考https://github.com/dacvm/Amode_Validation.git
