Abstract
Systems and methods for ultrasound devices with simultaneous arrays are disclosed. These systems and methods include an ultrasound having simultaneous arrays that can be used during an examination of an anatomy. The simultaneous arrays include at least a first array and a second array, where the first array transmits first ultrasound signals focused at a first depth and the second array transmits second ultrasound signals focused at a second depth that differs from the first depth. A first image is generated based on reflected signals of the first ultrasound signals from the anatomy and a second image is generated based on reflected signals of the second ultrasound signals from the anatomy. The first image can be first displayed, and the system can automatically replace the first image with the second image when an interventional instrument, shown in the first image, reaches a threshold depth of a region of interest.
