Estimation of Ultrasound Echogenicity Map from B-Mode Images Using Convolutional Neural Network

In ultrasound B-mode imaging, speckle noises decrease the accuracy of estimation of tissue echogenicity of imaged targets from the amplitude of the echo signals. In addition, since the granular size of the speckle pattern is affected by the point spread function (PSF) of the imaging system, the reso...
