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 3):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the processing comprises differentiating two echoes of the echoes based at least partly on the modulation of at least one of the first and second frequencies, wherein the two echoes are associated with adjacent voxels of the voxels.
