Improving Ultrasound Image Quality with Deep Learning
Aug. 6, 2021—Ultrasound remains an invaluable tool for clinicians because it is real-time, cost-effective, and portable. However, poor image quality can make diagnostic and guidance tasks with ultrasound unreliable (e.g., tumor and gallbladder boundaries difficult to see in left most figure). Machine learning techniques applied to ultrasound data have had great success for improving image quality. Among...
