1. An ultrasound system comprising:
an ultrasound scanner configured to generate ultrasound data based on reflections of ultrasound signals transmitted by the ultrasound scanner;
an ultrasound machine configured to generate ultrasound images including a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound image based on the ultrasound data; and
a circuit configured to make a determination whether the first ultrasound image is corrupted by a noise process that includes electromagnetic emissions of a plurality of types including a first type and a second type; wherein the circuit includes a neural network and a classifier coupled to the neural network and configured to determine the electromagnetic emission as of the first type based on the first ultrasound image and the electromagnetic emissions as of the second type based on the second ultrasound image.
