Abstract:Deep learning has gained tremendous popularity as a tool for ultrasound beamforming and image reconstruction. In previous work, we trained deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate the echogenicity of a medium, to improve acoustical and electronic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in channel data, and to detect targeted microbubbles nondestructively for real-time ultrasound molecular imaging. Here, we present several advancements to each application. First, we compare the speckle- and noise-reducing performance of DNN… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
