Abstract
Systems and methods include a reduced computation, computer-based management of point-of-care (POC) on-site ultrasound (ULS) imaging resources. At a digital computation resource of a POC site, a ULS tissue reflection sample data is received from a hand-held ULS scanning device. A digital computation resource of the POC site, applies a reduced computation tissue ULS reflection speckle noise (SN) physics model—blurring noise (BN) physics model based deep learning (DL) trained convolutional neural network (CNN) denoising process to the ULS tissue reflection sample data outputting an estimated denoised ULS tissue reflection image data. A visual rendering of the estimated denoised ULS tissue reflection image data is displayed on a display resource of the POC site.
