Image translation of Ultrasound to Pseudo Anatomical Display by CycleGAN. (arXiv:2202.08053v2 [eess.IV] UPDATED)

Ultrasound is the second most used modality in medical imaging. It is cost
effective, hazardless, portable and implemented routinely in numerous clinical
procedures. Nonetheless, image quality is characterized by granulated
appearance, poor SNR and speckle noise. Specific for malignant tumors, the
margins are blurred and indistinct. Thus, there is a great need for improving
ultrasound image quality. We hypothesize that this can be achieved, using
neural networks, by translation into a more realistic display which mimics an
anatomical cut through …
