Training Deep Network Ultrasound Beamformers With Unlabeled In Vivo Data

Conventional delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming is highly efficient but also suffers from various sources of image degradation. Several adaptive beamformers have been proposed to address this problem, including more recently proposed deep learning methods. With deep learning, adaptive beamforming is typically framed as a regression problem, where clean ground-truth physical information is used for tr...
