Open Source Software and Data

A comprehensive list of all of the open-source software and online data repositories that we have provided from our research.

• Acoustic Radiation Force FEM Tools: Templates for creating simulations of ARFI/SWEI excitations in elastic, viscoelastic and anisotropic media. LS-DYNA is the primary solver used in these simulations.

• Ultrasonic Tracking Simulation Tools: Field II-based tools to simulate ultrasonically-tracking ARF-induced motion in ARFI/SWEI.

• Verasonics Phantom Sequences: Sequences and post-processing code to evaluate shear wave speed group and phase velocities in elastic and viscoelastic media (part of the RSNA QIBA US SWS effort). Verasonic Processing Test Data can be found in the Duke Digital Repository.

• MimickNet: Matching clinical-grade ultrasound post-processing without the hassle. Partially-beamformed and processing ultrasound data is available through the Duke Digital Repository. This work is led by Ouwen Huang.

• Dermis Segmentation: Two methods for segmenting skin on ultrasound B-mode images. This work is led by Felix Jin.

• QIBA Ultrasound Shear Wave Speed Digital Phantoms are available online for validating SWEI algorithms in elastic and viscoelastic media. The code associated with generating these data can be found here: https://github.com/RSNA-QIBA-US-SWS/QIBA-DigitalPhantoms.
