Abstract
An ultrasound imaging system that produces a seemingly real-time display by obtaining ultrasound data in an interleaved manner. The system includes a transducer that outputs and receives ultrasonic signals and circuitry that causes the transducer to output the ultrasonic signals in a series of frames in an interleaved manner so as to isonify each of a plurality of portions of a subject matter at different times and forms an image based on the echoes from a plurality of frames.
