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, <em>A novel quantitative and reference-free ultrasound analysis to discriminate different concentrations of bone mineral content</em>, Scientific Reports, 2020, in press, <em>doi: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-79365-0</em>). 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.本数据集包含与仿骨材料的射频（radiofrequency, RF）超声（ultrasound, US）数据相关的MATLAB格式（.mat）文件。本次分析的材料制备与扫描流程遵循已发表于《科学报告（Scientific Reports）》的相关论文的方法部分所述步骤，该论文作者为A. Sorriento、A. Poliziani、A. Cafarelli、G. Valenza、L. Ricotti，标题为《一种用于区分不同骨矿含量浓度的新型定量无参超声分析方法》，发表于2020年，待刊（in press），DOI：https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-79365-0。具体而言，本次超声数据采集采用意大利Telemed公司的ArtUS EXT-1H系统完成，该系统搭配192元线阵探头L15-7H40-A5，工作频率范围为7.5~15 MHz。本研究按照论文所述方法，对15 MHz发射频率下的射频数据进行分析以得到最终结果。本数据集收录了各发射频率（7.5 MHz、10 MHz、12 MHz及15 MHz）下采集的超声数据。
