Gap-Filling Method for Suppressing Grating Lobes in Ultrasound Imaging: Experimental Study With Deep-Learning Approach

Sparse arrays reduce the number of active channels that effectively increases the inter-element spacing. Large inter-element spacing results in grating lobe artifacts degrading the ultrasound image quality and reducing the contrast-to-noise ratio. A deep learning-based custom algorithm is proposed t...
