Abstract: The current disclosure provides systems and methods for reducing clutter artifacts in medical images. In one example, a method for an image processing system comprises receiving a sequence of medical images including an amount of clutter artifacts; reducing the amount of clutter artifacts present in the sequence of medical images using a trained data-driven model, the data-driven trained on image sequence pairs including a first, lower-clutter image sequence as a target image, and a second, higher-clutter image sequence as an input image, the higher-clutter image sequence generated by superimposing an artifact overlay on the lower-clutter image sequence, the lower-clutter image sequence generated by an imaging device during a medical exam of a subject; and displaying an artifact-reduced version of the sequence of medical images on a display device of the image processing system, the artifact-reduced version outputted by the data-driven model.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided an ultrasound device. In one example, a method for ultrasound imaging comprises alternating positive and negative polarity transmits fired from an ultrasound probe at different locations.
