strasbourg-basel: sync data card and figures with GitHub
Browse filesSyncs the strasbourg-basel card and figures on the Hub with the reviewed state on GitHub (open-h/OpenH-RF).
Adds the three figures the card shows: the BoneSRF logo, a reference B-mode, and the CT slices with the phantom segment outlined.
The card also had links that only worked in the GitHub checkout: `data/` now points at `BoneSRF/data/`, which is where the files live here; `LICENCE` was not a file in either repo, so the text links the CC BY 4.0 deed instead; and `reference_bmodes/` is generated output that is not checked in, so it is no longer a link.
Files changed: 4.

|
| 31 |
+
**BoneSRF** (Bone Surface Reflection) is an ultrasound channel-data dataset for
|
| 32 |
+
bone-surface and fracture-reflection research. It contains three 3D-printed,
|
| 33 |
+
fractured femur phantoms, scanned with a handheld point-of-care probe, inverted back
|
| 34 |
+
to pre-beamformed RF and packaged in the OpenH-RF `zea` format.
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
Each phantom was swept three times (`distal`, `proximal`, `wholebone`), giving nine
|
| 37 |
+
`zea` HDF5 files in [`data/`](BoneSRF/data/). Every scan is robot-tracked: the probe was
|
| 38 |
+
mounted on a robotic arm and its pose recorded separately. Each file also carries
|
| 39 |
+
that phantom's CT scan and multi-label segmentation.
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
## Dataset Description
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
+
The channel data here is not a direct per-element sensor recording. A Clarius
|
| 44 |
+
handheld probe does not expose its raw per-element channel data, only its own
|
| 45 |
+
internally beamformed RF output. Every `raw_data` array is therefore a numerical
|
| 46 |
+
estimate: the per-element channel data consistent with the probe's known
|
| 47 |
per-scanline focused acquisition geometry (transmit delays, apodization, walking
|
| 48 |
+
sub-aperture) that would reproduce the real Clarius output if beamformed the same
|
| 49 |
+
way. It is recovered by a conjugate-gradient least-squares (CGLS) inversion of a zea
|
| 50 |
+
`DASOperator` built from that geometry, using the real beamformed phantom scans as
|
| 51 |
+
the inversion target.
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
+
This is phantom data, not simulated, clinical or in-vivo. It is intended for
|
| 54 |
full-matrix-capture-style beamforming and image-reconstruction research at a
|
| 55 |
+
bone-tissue interface, and as an example of recovering pre-beamformed data from
|
| 56 |
+
beamformed-only ultrasound exports.
|
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
### How the data was generated
|
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
+
1. **Acquisition.** Each phantom was scanned with a Clarius L20HD3 linear array,
|
| 61 |
+
producing the probe's own beamformed RF output. This is the physically acquired
|
| 62 |
+
data, not simulated.
|
| 63 |
2. **Inversion.** The beamformed RF is inverted back into pre-beamformed,
|
| 64 |
+
per-element channel data with
|
| 65 |
+
[`das-inverse` (`clarius` branch)](https://github.com/sankethvedula/das-inverse/tree/clarius),
|
| 66 |
+
a CGLS solver over a `zea.inverse.DASOperator` forward model of the probe's
|
| 67 |
focused, walking-sub-aperture transmit sequence (`invert_clarius_beamformed.py`).
|
| 68 |
+
The result is not sensor-captured, but numerically consistent with the real
|
| 69 |
+
beamformed acquisition it was inverted from.
|
|
|
|
| 70 |
3. **Packaging.** The inverted channel data, transmit-sequence metadata, probe
|
| 71 |
geometry, per-frame probe pose, and the phantom's CT + segmentation are written
|
| 72 |
out as one `zea` HDF5 file per scan, matching the OpenH-RF format spec.
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
### Probe tracking
|
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
+
The probe was mounted on a robotic arm and its pose recorded separately by a
|
| 77 |
+
trakSTAR electromagnetic tracking system with a fixed fCal image-to-probe
|
| 78 |
+
calibration. The pose stream is stored per frame in each file's metadata
|
| 79 |
+
(`metadata/probe_pose`: translation, rotation, timestamps), so
|
| 80 |
+
`metadata/probe_pose[i]` corresponds to `raw_data[i]`. The raw tracking capture is
|
| 81 |
+
not shipped, only the recovered, aligned pose stream.
|
|
|
|
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
### The three phantoms
|
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
Each phantom is a 3D-printed femur, modeled from a CC BY 4.0–licensed femur bone
|
| 86 |
+
dataset, with a different simulated fracture pattern. Each printed femur is immersed
|
| 87 |
+
in ultrasound-coupling gel and scanned by a robotic arm, which gives repeatable
|

probe trajectories rather than a freehand scan. Each phantom is scanned three times,
|
| 89 |
+
at three positions along the bone:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
+
- **`distal`**: a sweep over the distal region of the femur
|
| 92 |
+
- **`proximal`**: a sweep over the proximal region of the femur
|
| 93 |
+
- **`wholebone`**: a sweep covering the full length of the femur

Every file in `data/` is self-contained: it holds the CGLS-recovered pre-beamformed
|
| 117 |
+
channel data, the transmit-sequence and probe metadata needed to beamform it, the
|
| 118 |
+
per-frame probe pose, and the CT and segmentation of the phantom it shows.
|
|
|
|
| 119 |
|
| 120 |
## Reconstructing a B-mode
|
| 121 |
|
| 122 |
+
`reconstruct.py` loads the saved `zea.Pipeline` from `pipeline.yaml`, runs it on one
|
| 123 |
+
frame of one scan, and writes `reference_bmodes/<scan>.png`:
|
| 124 |
|
| 125 |
```bash
|
| 126 |
+
python reconstruct.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 127 |
```
|
| 128 |
|
| 129 |
+
The constants at the top of the script select what is reconstructed:
|
| 130 |
+
|
| 131 |
+
- `SCAN`: the scan to reconstruct, as a local path or an `hf://` URI.
|
| 132 |
+
- `FRAME`: the frame to beamform. `None` uses that scan's reference frame, the one
|
| 133 |
+
its `reference_bmodes/<scan>.png` was rendered from.
|
| 134 |
+
- `DEVICE`: where to run, e.g. `"cpu"`, `"cuda:0"` or `"auto:1"`.
|
| 135 |
+
- `CT`: also plot the CT carried in the file, to `assets/ct_<scan>.png`.
|
| 136 |
+
|
| 137 |
+
These values reconstruct `phantom2_wholebone` at its reference frame (45) on the CPU:
|
| 138 |
+
|
| 139 |
+
```python
|
| 140 |
+
SCAN = "hf://nvidia/OpenH-RF/strasbourg-basel/BoneSRF/data/phantom2_wholebone.hdf5"
|
| 141 |
+
FRAME = None
|
| 142 |
+
DEVICE = "cpu"
|
| 143 |
+
```
|
| 144 |
+
|
| 145 |
+
and produce the following B-mode image:
|
| 146 |
+
|
| 147 |
+
<p align="center">

</p>
|
| 150 |
+
|
| 151 |
The pipeline is `cast` → `apply_window` → `beamform` (delay-and-sum with a
|
| 152 |
+
per-transmit `pfield` weighting, since this is a per-scanline focused
|
| 153 |
+
walking-sub-aperture acquisition rather than full synthetic aperture) →
|
| 154 |
+
`keras.ops.abs` → axial-only Gaussian blur → `normalize` → `log_compress`. Display
|
| 155 |
+
parameters (dynamic range, p-field settings) also come from `pipeline.yaml`;
|
| 156 |
+
acquisition geometry comes from each file's own `scan` and `probe` groups.
|
| 157 |
|
| 158 |
+
The reconstruction does not use `zea.inverse`. That module is for the CGLS inversion
|
| 159 |
+
that produced these files, not for reading them back. Runtime is about 30 s per
|
| 160 |
+
frame on CPU. Each file is a full sweep of 20 to 25 GB, but only the requested frame
|
| 161 |
+
is read.

|
| 170 |
+
Clarius acquisitions: 19/06/2026 (`phantom1_distal`) and 25/06/2026
|
| 171 |
+
(`phantom1_proximal`). The other seven sweeps carry no recorded acquisition date,
|
| 172 |
+
see [Known Issues](#known-issues). Converted to the `zea` format in 2026.

## Intended Usage
|
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
Full-matrix-capture-style beamforming research on recovered (not directly sensed)
|
| 183 |
+
channel data at a bone-tissue interface: delay-and-sum reconstruction, adaptive and
|
| 184 |
+
aberration-correction beamforming benchmarks, and robot/EM-tracked probe-pose fusion.
|
| 185 |
+
It also serves as a reference for recovering pre-beamformed data from other
|
| 186 |
+
beamformed-only scanners.

## Dataset Characterization
|
| 189 |
|
|
|
|
| 194 |
recording); probe pose independently tracked via a trakSTAR EM tracking system,
|
| 195 |
fCal-calibrated.
|
| 196 |
- **Labeling Method:** a CT scan of each 3D-printed phantom and a multi-label
|
| 197 |
+
segmentation of it (authored in 3D Slicer) are stored inside each of that
|
| 198 |
+
phantom's three files, under `custom/ct/` and `custom/ct_segmentation/`. See
|
| 199 |
[CT reference imaging](#ct-reference-imaging). There are no annotations on the RF
|
| 200 |
data itself.
|
| 201 |
- **Acquisition system:** Clarius L20HD3, 192-element linear array, 0.130 mm pitch
|
| 202 |
(24.8 mm aperture), 10 MHz center frequency, 30 MHz sampling frequency, 1540 m/s
|
| 203 |
sound speed, ~5.1 cm imaging depth (1984–2016 axial samples depending on scan),
|
| 204 |
+
single fixed transmit focus at 25.3–25.8 mm (`focus_distances` is constant across
|
| 205 |
+
all 192 transmits within a scan), 192 focused transmits per frame (one per lateral
|
| 206 |
+
scanline, no steering), Hanning-windowed walking sub-aperture per scanline with
|
| 207 |
+
47 to 97 of 192 elements active per transmit (mean 84, narrowest at the array
|
| 208 |
+
edges).
|
| 209 |
|
| 210 |
## CT reference imaging
|
| 211 |
|
| 212 |
+
Each phantom's CT scan and its multi-label 3D Slicer segmentation are stored inside
|
| 213 |
+
all three of that phantom's `zea` files, under `custom/ct/` and
|
| 214 |
`custom/ct_segmentation/`. They are not shipped as separate `.nrrd` sidecars, so no
|
| 215 |
file depends on another.
|
| 216 |
|
| 217 |
+
<p align="center">
|
| 218 |
+
<img src="assets/ct_phantom2_wholebone.png" alt="CT slices of phantom2" width="800">
|
| 219 |
+
</p>
|
| 220 |
+
|
| 221 |
+
Three slices of phantom2's CT, written by `reconstruct.py` with `CT = True`, with
|
| 222 |
+
the `BoneSRF-2_Complete` segment outlined in red. The printed femur is hollow, so it
|
| 223 |
+
reads dark against the bright coupling gel, and the coronal view shows the fracture:
|
| 224 |
+
the bone is in separate, displaced pieces.
|
| 225 |
+
|
| 226 |
| Dataset | Contents |
|
| 227 |
|---|---|
|
| 228 |
| `custom/ct/volume` | CT volume, `int16`, stored `(k, j, i)` (slice, row, column) |
|
|
|
|
| 239 |
| phantom2 | `512 × 512 × 574` | `(574, 512, 512)` | `0.50390625 × 0.50390625 × 0.6` |
|
| 240 |
| phantom3 | `512 × 512 × 594` | `(594, 512, 512)` | `0.5625 × 0.5625 × 0.6` |
|
| 241 |
|
| 242 |
+
Each segmentation has three segments, one per RF sweep of that phantom. Label values
|
| 243 |
+
repeat across layers, because 3D Slicer keeps segments on separate internal labelmap
|
| 244 |
+
layers, so read a segment's mask as
|
| 245 |
`labelmap[..., segment_layers[s]] == segment_label_values[s]` rather than treating
|
| 246 |
the array as one flat labelmap:
|
| 247 |
|
|
|
|
| 258 |
| `BoneSRF-3_Complete` | 1 | 1 | `phantom3_wholebone` |
|
| 259 |
|
| 260 |
The CT is reference imaging of the physical phantom in scanner (LPS) space. It is
|
| 261 |
+
not spatially registered to the RF frames or to the tracked probe poses; no
|
| 262 |
+
CT-to-ultrasound registration is provided.
|
| 263 |
|
| 264 |
## Dataset Format
|
| 265 |
|
| 266 |
Submitted in the [`zea` file format](https://zea.readthedocs.io/en/openh-rf-latest/)
|
| 267 |
+
as nine HDF5 files in [`data/`](BoneSRF/data/), blosc-compressed.
|
| 268 |
|
| 269 |
The channel data was recovered from the probe's real, beamformed RF output by
|
| 270 |
CGLS-inverting a `zea.inverse.DASOperator` built from the known acquisition
|
| 271 |
geometry. `t0_delays`, `tx_apodizations`, `focus_distances`, `transmit_origins`,
|
| 272 |
`polar_angles`, and `waveforms_two_way` are copied directly from the values that
|
| 273 |
+
inversion's DAS operator was built with, not re-derived. The source
|
| 274 |
`.npz` had no explicit `demodulation_frequency`; it was substituted with
|
| 275 |
+
`center_frequency` per the standard convention for RF (non-IQ) sources.
|
|
|
|
| 276 |
|
| 277 |
Probe pose (`metadata/probe_pose`: translation, rotation, timestamps) was recovered
|
| 278 |
from the trakSTAR tracking capture via a fixed fCal image-to-probe calibration,
|
| 279 |
resampled onto each `raw_data` frame's own acquisition time before conversion, and
|
| 280 |
+
stored per frame, so `metadata/probe_pose[i]` corresponds to `raw_data[i]`.
|
|
|
|
| 281 |
|
| 282 |
+
CT and segmentation were copied verbatim out of the `.nrrd` files that previously
|
| 283 |
+
shipped alongside the RF data, so that every file is self-contained; the source NRRD
|
| 284 |
+
headers are preserved with them. Grid geometry is converted from the NRRD's
|
| 285 |
+
millimetres to zea's SI metres.
|
| 286 |
|
| 287 |
+
Reading these files requires `h5py` built against HDF5 ≥ 2.0 (e.g. `h5py` ≥ 3.16),
|
| 288 |
+
see [Known Issues](#known-issues).

### Fields
|
| 291 |
|
|
|
|
| 321 |
|
| 322 |
**Current OpenH-RF release:** 9 HDF5 files; 200.75 GB (200,745,025,536 bytes) stored; root `zea_version` **0.1.6**. Sizes include all HDF5 contents and use decimal units (MB = 10^6 bytes, GB = 10^9 bytes, TB = 10^12 bytes), not decoded-array memory or original-source download sizes.
|
| 323 |
|
| 324 |
+
Nine acquisitions, one continuous sweep each; 1,427 frames in total. No train / val /
|
| 325 |
+
test split (each file is a single reference acquisition). Every scan has one tracked
|
| 326 |
+
probe pose per frame.
|

## Subject Metadata
|
| 341 |
|
| 342 |
+
3D-printed, bone-mimicking musculoskeletal phantoms (bone surface reflection
|
| 343 |
+
targets); no human or animal subject. Scanned with a robot-mounted
|
| 344 |
Clarius L20HD3 linear array at 10 MHz / ~5.1 cm depth / single transmit focus.
|
| 345 |
|
| 346 |
## Data Validation
|
| 347 |
|
| 348 |
+
All nine files pass the `zea` data spec, both `File.validate()` (structural) and
|
| 349 |
+
`File.validate_spec()` (dtype, shape and dimension consistency). `reconstruct.py`
|
| 350 |
+
runs end-to-end on every scan; the images in
|
| 351 |
+
`reference_bmodes/` are its output.
|
|
|
|
| 352 |
|
| 353 |
## Known Issues
|
| 354 |
+
- **Fracture patterns are not documented per phantom.** The location, type
|
| 355 |
+
(transverse / oblique / comminuted / hairline) and displacement of each phantom's
|
| 356 |
+
fracture are not recorded. The CT segmentation in each file is ground truth for
|
| 357 |
+
the physical phantom geometry.
|
| 358 |
- **Acquisition dates are incomplete.** Only `phantom1_distal` (19/06/2026) and
|
| 359 |
`phantom1_proximal` (25/06/2026) have a recorded original Clarius acquisition date;
|
| 360 |
the other seven sweeps do not carry one in the file or in the source capture.
|
| 361 |
+
- **No CT-to-ultrasound registration.** The CT is in scanner LPS space and the probe
|
| 362 |
+
poses in trakSTAR tracker space. Nothing here relates the two.
|
| 363 |
- **CT intensity units are unverified.** The source NRRD headers record no unit. The
|
| 364 |
+
value range (−1024 to about 500) is consistent with Hounsfield units, but this has
|
| 365 |
+
not been confirmed.
