Failed to create algorithm "US.UltrasoundSimulationHybrid" with specified data

ImFusion Suite Ultrasound
1

I recently downloaded the free research version of the ImFusion SDK. What I’d like to test is generating synthetic ultrasound images, along with their pose information, from CT or MRI volumes.

I found the HybridSimulation example publicly available, although I’m not sure if it’s the right one for my task. After importing the files, the following messages appear in the sdk logs:

[Workspace] Failed to create algorithm "US.UltrasoundSimulationHybrid" with specified data.
[Workspace] Could not restore algorithm US.UltrasoundSimulationHybrid

I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Is this type of task only possible with Starter and Professional subscriptions, and not possible with the free research version?
Also, is HybridSimulation the appropriate example for what I’m trying to achieve?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Unfortunately, the Ultrasound algorithms are not included in the free base SDK version, see here: ImFusion SDK Pricing - ImFusion

Since you’re affiliated with UPF, you can apply for an Academic Software Grant and get the full SDK for free.

P.S. The Hybrid Ultrasound Simulation requires a label map as input, not a CT. Use the classic UltrasoundSimulation instead.

Best,

Oliver
