Detecting ultrasound beams using ultrasound imaging

A method comprising:

• generating, one or more acoustic beams directed at a target with one or more of a first transducer array, a second transducer array, and a third transducer array, of an ultrasound system;
• receiving, at the second transducer array and the third transducer array, reflected ultrasound that results from reflections of the one or more acoustic beams;
• determining time-of-flight data for at least one of the one or more acoustic beams based on the receiving of the reflected ultrasound;
• generating, by a computing and imaging device of the ultrasound system, beam steering data using the time-of-flight data;
• and
• adjusting, by a computing and imaging device and using the beam steering data, an acoustic beam generated by the first transducer array.

A method comprising:

• receiving, at the second transducer array and the third transducer array, reflected ultrasound that results from reflections of the one or more acoustic beams;
• generating imaging data for the fields of view of the second transducer and the third transducer based on the receiving of the reflected ultrasound;
• determining, by a computing and imaging device of the ultrasound system, one or more of characteristics of response to one of the one or more acoustic beams and physical changes in the target;
• generating, by a computing and imaging device of the ultrasound system, beam adjustments for an acoustic beam generated by the first transducer array based on either or both of determined characteristics of the response to the first acoustic beam and the determined physical changes in the target;
• adjusting, by a computing and imaging device, the acoustic beam generated by the first transducer array based on the beam adjustments.
