A system for localizing a three-dimensional field of view (3DFOV) of a beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) based on a position indicator disposed within said field of view (3DFOV), the system comprising: a beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP); a controller; and a tracking system; wherein the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) is configured to transmit and receive ultrasound signals within a three-dimensional field of view (3DFOV) comprising a plurality of predetermined sub-volumes (SV 1..n), each sub-volume (SV 1..n) being defined by a two-dimensional array of beams (B 1..k); wherein the controller is in communication with the tracking system and the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) and is configured to cause the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) to scan the sub-volumes (SV 1..n) sequentially by transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals corresponding to each beam (B 1..k); wherein the tracking system is in communication with the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) and is configured to: determine a position of the position indicator within the three-dimensional field of view (3DFOV); determine a sub-volume (SV 1..n) in which the position indicator is located; and wherein the controller is further configured to cause the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) to provide a localized field of view (LFOV) including the position of the position indicator by constraining the transmitting and receiving of ultrasound signals to a portion of the sub-volume in which the position indicator is located. a beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP); a controller; and a tracking system; wherein the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) is configured to transmit and receive ultrasound signals within a three-dimensional field of view (3DFOV) comprising a plurality of predetermined sub-volumes (SV 1..n), each sub-volume (SV 1..n) being defined by a two-dimensional array of beams (B 1..k); wherein the controller is in communication with the tracking system and the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) and is configured to cause the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) to scan the sub-volumes (SV 1..n) sequentially by transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals corresponding to each beam (B 1..k); wherein the tracking system is in communication with the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) and is configured to: determine a position of the position indicator within the three-dimensional field of view (3DFOV); determine a sub-volume (SV 1..n) in which the position indicator is located; and wherein the controller is further configured to cause the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) to provide a localized field of view (LFOV) including the position of the position indicator by constraining the transmitting and receiving of ultrasound signals to a portion of the sub-volume in which the position indicator is located. determine a position of the position indicator within the three-dimensional field of view (3DFOV); determine a sub-volume (SV 1..n) in which the position indicator is located; and wherein the controller is further configured to cause the beamforming ultrasound imaging probe (BUIP) to provide a localized field of view (LFOV) including the position of the position indicator by constraining the transmitting and receiving of ultrasound signals to a portion of the sub-volume in which the position indicator is located.
