Abstract:
In an ultrasound imaging device, a method for multi-angle compound flow imaging comprising:receiving at an ultrasound transducer a first ultrasound signal reflection from a target, the first ultrasound signal reflection being oriented at a first angle with respect to an ultrasound transducer normal; receiving at an ultrasound transducer a second ultrasound signal reflection from the target, the second ultrasound signal reflection being oriented at a second angle with respect to the ultrasound transducer normal; jointly evaluating information in the first and second ultrasound signal reflections, selecting one of the first and second ultrasound signal reflections based on a result of the jointly evaluating step; and displaying the selected one of the first and second ultrasound signal reflections as a display result for a target.
