Abstract:
The invention relates to an ultrasound image generating system for generating an image of an object. The ultrasound image generating system comprises an ultrasound data provisioning unit for providing raw ultrasound data of the object, which data have been acquired using an ultrasound imaging modality. A trained unit provisioning unit provides a unit trained by machine learning, such as a trained neural network, which is configured to generate an ultrasound image of an object based on of raw ultrasound data of the object that does not correspond to the ultrasound imaging modality. An image generating unit generates the image of the object using the provided trained unit, based on of the provided raw ultrasound data of the object.
