Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for reducing anomalies in ultrasound images. One example method includes combining a plurality of sub-band components to attenuate anomalies in a first ultrasound image formed by the combination of the plurality of sub-band components, wherein the plurality of sub-band components are combined based on a plurality of adaptive weights output from a machine learning model and wherein the plurality of adaptive weights are associated with the plurality of sub-band components. The method further includes outputting for a display device, the first ultrasound image.
