Abstract
B-mode ultrasound displays hyperechoic and hypoechoic targets as larger and smaller, respectively, compared to the true structure. A method to correct for this distortion would enable B-mode to better represent the true structure. For this work, we investigated training DNN beamformers to reduce this B-mode sizing distortion. Aperture domain DNN beamformers were trained using training data generated from simulated anechoic cysts. The DNN beamformers were trained to suppress signals originating from inside the cyst and to preserve signals originating from outside the cyst. The results suggest that DNN beamformers can be trained to reduce B-mode sizing distortions.
