Abstract
An ultrasound imaging system () includes a transducer array () with a two-dimensional non-rectangular array of rows () of elements, transmit circuitry () that actuates the elements to transmit an ultrasound signal into a field of view, receive circuitry () that receives echoes produced in response to an interaction between the ultrasound signal and a structure in the field of view, and a beamformer that processes the echoes, thereby generating one or more scan lines indicative of the field of view.
