Disclosed herein are ultrasound systems comprising a plurality of transducers configured to work in concert to produce a customizable beam profile through the additive effects of multiple pulses. As an example, uniform and wide beam profiles can be generated using transducer elements that cannot independently generate such beam profiles.
