All Data Analysis Procedures

In Vivo Data Analysis workflow

The following list outlines the data analysis workflow for in vivo experimentation with corresponding specification pages that give further instruction/details of the procedures.

  1. Specifications/DataAnalysis/FileAssociation

    • Associate the ultrasound files to the appropriate data (tdms) files and provide the time synchronization (dT) XML files.
  2. Specifications/DataAnalysis/QualityAssurance

    • Provides an overview of the data. The figures developed should be visually inspected for irregularities in the data and ultrasound images.
  3. Specifications/DataAnalysis/ThicknessAnalysis

    • Output: XML document of thickness measurements with associated forces, force/thickness plots, first analyzed image for each trial, and thickness inclusion file
