A method for imaging a target includes the steps of transmitting ultrasonic energy at a fundamental frequency and receiving reflected ultrasonic energy at a harmonic of the fundamental frequency. The ultrasonic energy is transmitted in power bursts, each having a respective envelope shape, wherein the envelope shapes rise gradually to a respective maximum value and fall gradually from the respective maximum value. Ultrasonic energy in the transmit beam is focused in an elongated high power region, as for example by means of a line focus.
