Fig. 5.
Average B-mode image quality metrics over 15 simulations of anechoic lesions as a function of NSR for the unfiltered noisy input and 3DCNN filtered output channel signals. Added noise includes both thermal and reverberation noise. GCNR, CNR, LOC and contrast are calculated using the ROI’s shown in Figure 2a. The green dashed line shows the noise-free reference value. Error bars show the standard deviation across 15 simulations.
