Ultrasound image simulation with generative adversarial network

PURPOSE: It is difficult to simulate realistic ultrasound images due to the complexity of acoustic artifacts that contribute to a real ultrasound image. We propose to evaluate the realism of ultrasound images simulated using a generative adversarial network. METHODS: To achieve our goal, kidney ultrasounds were collected, and relevant anatomy was segmented to create anatomical label-maps using 3D Slicer. Adversarial networks were trained to...
