Abstract:
Nonlinear ultrasound imaging systems and methods are disclose. In one aspect, a nonlinear ultrasound imaging system includes a first transducer configured to transmit a first ultrasound signal along a scan line, a second transducer configured to sweep a second ultrasound signal along the scan line such that the first and second ultrasound signals intersect at a plurality of voxels, and a third transducer configured to receive echoes associated with interactions of the first and second ultrasound signals at the plurality of voxels. The nonlinear ultrasound imaging system further includes a processor configured to generate an ultrasound image based on the echoes.

Claim (Index 14):
The ultrasound imaging system of  claim 13 , wherein the processing circuit is configured to differentiate echoes associated with interaction of the first ultrasound signal and the second ultrasound signal from adjacent voxels of the voxels based on frequencies of the echoes associated with the adjacent voxels.
