METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING MOTION FROM OVERLAPPING MULTILINE ACQUISITIONS OF SUCCESSIVE ULTRASOUND TRANSMIT EVENTS

Systems and methods for estimating motion from overlapping multiline acquisitions of successive transmit events are provided. The method includes receiving a set of receive data points for each of a sequence of partially overlapping transmit beams emitted from transducer elements in multiple directions at a target. The set of receive data points includes a number of receive data point locations overlapping with receive data point locations generated from other transmit beams in the sequence. The method includes compensating each receive data point for a different arrival time. The method includes determining a displacement of the target by comparing components of pairs of co-located receive data points generated in response to different transmit beams. The method includes summing the co-located receive data points into a pixel of a B-mode image and presenting the B-mode image with velocity information based on the determined displacement of the target at a display system.
