This dataset includes the measurement data described in the paper "Rheological Analysis and Evaluation of Measurement Techniques for the Curing Polymethylmethacrylate Bone Cement in Vertebroplasty" and additional supplementary data. All data in .csv files except 'Inj1 -- 5' are generated directly by the rheometer software from the rheometer measurements.
