Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method and related systems comprising detecting a position of each of two or more targets in a volume to be imaged; generating and directing a single beam of ultrasound energy toward the volume by simultaneously focusing the single beam on each of the two or more the target positions; detecting the ultrasound energy from each of the two or more the target positions; and using the detected ultrasound energy to generate an image of the volume to be imaged. Such as generating a blood flow profile in a blood vessel.
