Summary

With the present demand for high-quality image reconstruction and signal extraction from less (e.g., unfocused or parallel) transmissions that facilitate fast imaging, and the push towards compact probes, modern ultrasound imaging leans heavily on innovations in powerful digital receive channel processing. Beamforming, the process of mapping received ultrasound echoes to the spatial image domain, naturally lies at the heart of the ultrasound image formation chain. In this chapter, we discuss why and when deep learning methods can play a compelling role in the digital beamforming pipeline, and then show how these data-driven systems can be leveraged for improved ultrasound image reconstruction.
