Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for diagnosing a vessel having a casing with multiple isolated fluid pathways disposed therein, is provided. The vessel provides for at least one fluid flow. The method includes disposing an ultrasonic device proximate to the vessel, emitting multiple ultrasonic probe signals from the ultrasonic device, evaluating the reflected signals for at least one characteristic of the at least one fluid flow through the flow area, and generating a set of fluid flow characteristics of the flow area based on the evaluating. The probe signals are configured to interact with a flow area and generate multiple reflected signals.
