Abstract

PURPOSE: We investigate the feasibility of reconstructing ultrasound images directly from raw channel data using a deep learning network. Starting from the raw data, we present the network the full measurement information, allowing for a more generic reconstruction to form, as compared to common reconstructions constrained by physical models using fixed speed of sound assumptions.
