Abstract
An ultrasound imaging system includes a transducer array () with a plurality of transducer elements () configured to transmit a pulsed field beam into a scan field of view, receive echo signals produced in response to the pulsed field interacting with particles/structure flowing/moving in the scan field of view, and generate electrical signals indicative of the echo signals. The ultrasound imaging system further includes a beamformer () including multiple synthetic transmit aperture beamformers configured to process the electrical signals over a plurality of processing channels () into corresponding receive-beams of RF-data with a beam-level delay, channel-level delays, a beam-level gain and channel-level gains. The ultrasound imaging system further includes a velocity processor () configured to estimate a flow velocity of the structure flowing in the scan field of view from the RF-data. The ultrasound imaging system further includes a rendering engine () configured to display the flow velocity estimate on a display () with color-coding.
