receive echo information associated with the transmitted ultrasound signals;
process the echo information and generate a plurality of ultrasound images of the target;
determine, using a plurality of position sensors located in the housing or on the flexible strip, relative position information associated with each of the plurality of ultrasound images, wherein each of the plurality of ultrasound transducers is located adjacent one of the plurality of position sensors;
combine and rotate at least some of the plurality of ultrasound images based on the relative position information to generate an image of the target;
generate an estimated parameter associated with the target at a plurality of locations based on the plurality of ultrasound images;
