Abstract
An ultrasound imaging system and method for flow-mode imaging. A method of ultrasound imaging includes displaying an initial ultrasound image, receiving a selection of a flow region through a user interface, and receiving a selection of an angular range through the user interface. The method includes displaying a flow-mode image on the display device after receiving both the selection of the flow region and the selection of the angular range, wherein the flow-mode image represents flow information that is both within the flow region and within the selected angular range. Wherein the flow-mode image does not represent flow information that is either outside of the flow region or outside of the angular range.
