Abstract

There is provided an ultrasound device comprising: ultrasound transducer(s), memory storing code, hardware processor(s) coupled to the ultrasound transducer(s) and the memory for executing stored code comprising: activating the transducer(s) for simultaneously transmitting at least one line with a predefined focus width, and receiving an indication of a plurality of narrow-focused received lines, inputting the indication of the narrow-focused received lines into a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on pairs of ultrasound imaging data capturing rapid motion of the certain tissue of sample patient(s), including a single-line ultrasound imaging data captured based on a single line in response to a transmitted single narrow-focused pulse, and a multiple-line ultrasound imaging data captured based on receiving narrow-focused lines in response to simultaneously transmitted at least one line, outputting adjusted narrow-focused received lines, and computing an adjusted ultrasound image according to the adjusted narrow-focused received lines for presentation on a display.
