Claim 14:
15. A method of ultrasound imaging, comprising:
receiving, at a processor circuit in communication with an array of acoustic elements, ultrasound channel data corresponding to ultrasound echoes associated with an anatomy;
normalizing the ultrasound channel data by applying a first scaling function to the ultrasound channel data based on signal levels of the ultrasound channel data;
generating beamformed data by applying a predictive network to the normalized ultrasound channel data;
de-normalizing the beamformed data by applying a second scaling function to the beamformed data based on the signal levels of the ultrasound channel data;
generating an image of the anatomy from the beamformed data; and
outputting, to a display in communication with the processor circuit, the image of the anatomy.
