Complex Transformer Network for Single-Angle Plane-Wave Imaging

Plane-wave imaging (PWI) is a high-frame-rate imaging technique that sacrifices image quality. Deep learning can potentially enhance plane-wave image quality, but processing complex in-phase and quadrature (IQ) data and suppressing incoherent signals pose challenges. To address these challenges, we present a complex transformer network (CTN) that integrates complex convolution and complex self-attention (CSA) modules.
