In plane-wave imaging, multiple unfocused ultrasound waves are transmitted into a medium of interest from different angles and an image is formed from the recorded reflections. The number of plane waves used leads to a trade-off between…

Deep learning methods can be found in many medical imaging applications. Recently, those methods were applied directly to the RF ultrasound multi-channel data to enhance the quality of the reconstructed images. In this paper, we apply a…

Medical ultrasound provides images which are the spatial map of the tissue echogenicity. Unfortunately, an ultrasound image is a low-quality version of the expected Tissue Reflectivity Function (TRF) mainly due to the non-ideal Point Spread…

Fine-tuning a network which has been trained on a large dataset is an alternative to full training in order to overcome the problem of scarce and expensive data in medical applications. While the shallow layers of the network are usually…

In ultrasound (US) imaging, individual channel RF measurements are back-propagated and accumulated to form an image after applying specific delays. While this time reversal is usually implemented using a hardware- or software-based…

Ultrasound imaging is caught between the quest for the highest image quality, and the necessity for clinical usability. Our contribution is two-fold: First, we propose a novel fully convolutional neural network for ultrasound…
