...The concept of ultrafast imaging using unfocused transmit waves [11]–[16] has been proposed to drastically reduce the number of transmits while maintaining the number of scan lines and the image size....

...…from earlier efforts that reported the feasibility of achieving high-frame-rate vector flow imaging through spherical wave firings (Nikolov and Jensen 2003; Oddershede and Jensen 2007) or plane wave excitation (Ekroll et al. 2013; Flynn et al. 2011, 2012; Lu et al. 2006; Udesen et al. 2008)....

...Our least-squares flow vector estimator can be considered as a generalized form of the cross-beam Doppler estimation method in which multiple Tx-Rx angle pairs are used in lieu of the two-angle approach that has been reported previously (Kripfgans et al. 2006; Ekroll et al. 2013)....

...This data acquisition scheme can be considered as the generalized form of the two-angle plane-wave firing strategy that has been applied to vector flow estimation lately (Ekroll et al. 2013)....

...In turn, in cases with noisy data input, consistent estimation performance can still be maintained compared with the two-equation, two-unknown formulation that corresponds to the conventional two-angle vector Doppler method (Ekroll et al. 2013; Kripfgans et al. 2006)....

...However, if 30 transmissions were used for B-mode at 12 kHz, and 30 transmissions were used for doppler at 4 kHz, a modality including B-mode, vector doppler, and retrospective pW doppler at a frame rate of 100 Hz is achievable, in which the B-mode image contrast needs to be only slightly compromised [25]....

...B-mode images were formed using coherent plane wave compounding [25] by beamforming echoes from 43 different transmit angles to a common grid, followed by summation of the Iq data at all grid points....
