BUFF is a comprehensive simulation and evaluation platform for ULM. It comprises: micro-vascular network generation, fast computational fluid dynamics solver, linear acoustic field simulation, non-linear microbubble dynamics simulation, and an algorithm evaluation pipeline. BUFF allows fast creation of realistic datasets, and efficient algorithm assessment.

Code and example scripts will be released soon.

BUFF was the tool used for both dataset generation and the evaluation participant’s algorithms at the the 2022 IUS ULTRA-SR challenge. ULTRA-SR Synthetic.
