<h3>Data description</h3>
<p>The simulation data in this repository, is contained in several .zip files:</p>
<ul>
  <li>DataSetFig3.zip: This dataset contains the simulation data needed to reproduce Fig. 3 of the article.</li>
  <li>DataSetR1.zip: This dataset contains the simulation data corresponding to the lateral vessel location R1. It is needed to reproduce Fig 4 and Fig. 6b. </li>
  <li>DataSetR2.zip: This dataset contains the simulation data corresponding to the lateral vessel location R2. It is needed to reproduce Fig 4 and Fig. 6b. </li>
  <li>DataSetR3.zip: This dataset contains the simulation data corresponding to the lateral vessel location R3. It is needed to reproduce Fig 4 and Fig. 6b. </li>
</ul>
<p>The .zip folders contain the following:</p>
<ul>
  <li>LOTUS_INPUT: This folder contains the input simulated ultrasound images, of which the file names are parametrized as:</li>
</ul>
<ol>
  <li>chunk***.mat:     Data set containing IQ variable of size 180x240x1000, containing 1000 B-mode images of dimension 9mmx12mm</li>
</ol>
<ul>
  <li>ULM_results: This folder is initially empty. Results of running the scripts will be stored in this folder.</li>
  <li>PAR.mat: Parameters with which the ultrasound images are simulated. See scripts for further details.</li>
  <li>TOTAL_MB.mat: Contains the variable MB_loc_conc that describes the simulated (ground truth) location of the MBs at each frame (z, x) [mm].</li>
  <li>Saved MB tracks used for visualization. One of the following options:</li>
</ul>
<ol>
  <li>RAW_tracks.mat </li>
  <li>Track_r1_illustration.mat</li>
  <li>Track_r2_illustration.mat</li>
  <li>Track_r3_illustration.mat</li>
</ol>
<ul>
  <li>GT_theta.mat: Ground truth orientation of the simulated vessels</li>
  <li>velAv.mat: Average velocity in the simulated vessels during the simulation.</li>
</ul>
