Claim 0:
1. An ultrasound imaging system, comprising:
an array of acoustic elements configured to transmit ultrasound energy into an anatomy and to receive ultrasound echoes associated with the anatomy; and
a processor circuit in communication with the array of acoustic elements and configured to:
receive, from the array, ultrasound channel data corresponding to the received ultrasound echoes;
normalize the ultrasound channel data by applying a first scaling function to the ultrasound channel data based on signal levels of the ultrasound channel data;
generate beamformed data by applying a predictive network to the normalized ultrasound channel data;
de-normalize the beamformed data by applying a second scaling function to the beamformed data based on the signal levels of the ultrasound channel data;
generate an image of the anatomy from the beamformed data; and
output, to a display in communication with the processor circuit, the image of the anatomy.
