Abstract
A method for ultrasound imaging detects a region of interest from ultrasound signals of a first imaging mode received along sensing elements of a transducer probe. The sensed data is analyzed and the system responds to the region of interest detection by switching to a secondary imaging mode with the transducer probe at the same position. The transducer probe indexes to a next scan position and sensing and analysis are repeated at each of a number of indexed scan positions.
