<p>A method and system (10) for acquiring data in an ultrasound system are provided. A transducer (14) is operatively connected to a transmit beam former (12) and a receive beam former (16). The receive beam former (16) is configured to obtain a first value associated with a fundamental frequency interleaved with a second value associated with a harmonic frequency. A first transmit signal is transmitted at a first frequency. A first echo signal is received in response to the first transmit signal. At least the first value associated with the first frequency is obtained from the first echo signal. An interleaved second transmit signal is transmitted at the first frequency or a second frequency. A second echo signal is received in response to the second transmit signal. At least the second value associated with a third frequency is obtained from the second echo signal. Images are generated and displayed based on the at least one first value, and the at least one second value.</p> |
