Paper Abstract
We investigated using deep neural networks (DNNs) to beamform ultrasound images with high dynamic range targets. The DNNs operated on frequency domain data, the inputs consisted of the separated in-phase and quadrature components observed across the aperture of the array, and the outputs of the DNNs had the same structure as the inputs. We compared several methods for generating training data, including training with hypoechoic and anechoic cysts. All training data was generated using a linear ultrasound simulation tool. The results demonstrate the potential for using DNN beamformers to extend the dynamic range of ultrasound beamforming.
