Improving Lateral Resolution in 3-D Imaging With Micro-beamforming Through Adaptive Beamforming by Deep Learning

There is an increased desire for miniature ultrasound probes with small apertures to provide volumetric images at high frame rates for in-body applications. Satisfying these increased requirements makes simultaneous achievement of a good lateral resolution a challenge. As micro-beamforming is often employed to reduce data rate and cable count...
