Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 9:
10. A method of ultrasound imaging, the method comprising:
acquiring echo signals responsive to ultrasound pulses transmitted into a target region comprising fluid flow by an ultrasound transducer operatively coupled to an ultrasound system;
determining one or more flow properties of the fluid flow on a frame-by-frame basis within the target region based on one or more groups of echo signals;
determining one or more adjusted flow imaging parameters based on the one or more flow properties, wherein the one or more adjusted flow imaging parameters comprise an adjusted ensemble length and an adjusted step size, and wherein step size is related to flow acceleration or deceleration and is used for autocorrelation estimation; and
applying the one or more adjusted flow imaging parameters on a frame-by-frame basis when obtaining a next group of echo signals acquired by the ultrasound transducer.
