Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In one embodiment, a method of transmitting ultrasonic energy is provided. The method comprises steps of configuring a pulse generator for generating and supplying excitation signals, transmitting ultrasound energy, based on the excitation signals, into an image volume of interest and generating multiple transmit beam sets from at least one sector comprising plurality of beam positions grouped into plurality of sub sectors, each sub sector comprising at least one set of beam positions indexed sequentially based on a predetermined rotation and wherein each transmit beam set comprises multiple simultaneous transmit beams, the multiple simultaneous transmit beams being generated from beam positions with matching indexes in each sub sector and wherein at least a first transmit beam set and a last transmit beam set, in each sector, are not generated from neighboring beam positions.
