Research data and code for Numerical investigation of the influence of the source and detector position for optical measurement of lung volume and oxygen content in preterm infants

# Research data repository

## Introduction

This repository contains the research data, scripts and codes to process the simulation and generate the figures in research article:  
"Numerical investigation of the influence of the source and detector position for optical measurement of lung volume and oxygen content in preterm infants"

This work uses the discrete 3D mesh of the thorax of a newborn that is available at: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4916863

## Content

- Folder "data": This folder needs to be unzipped and contains the raw data from the simulation, as well as some processed data needed to generate the figures. This folder contains all the data necessary to generate the figures. However some intermediate data files (the Photon Hitting Density values interpolated on the elements of the mesh) are not given here because the files are too big. These can be created using the convertPHD2element script.
- Folder "function": This folder needs to be unzipped and contains some functions that are used by the scripts to process data or generate the figures
- Matlab .m files: The .m files are scripts that are used to generate the figures (generateFigX.m) or to process the data computeYYY.m. The description of each script and function is given in the comment section at the beginning of each file.
