Abstract High-frame-rate ultrasound imaging with plane wave transmissions is a predominant method for blood flow imaging, and methods for estimation of blood flow velocity vectors have been developed based on high-frame-rate imaging. On the other hand, in imaging of soft tissues, such as arterial walls and atherosclerotic plaques, high-frame-rate imaging sometimes suffers from high-level clutters. Even in observation of the arterial wall with a focused transmit beam, it would be highly beneficial if blood flow velocity vectors could be estimated simultaneously. We conducted a preliminary study on estimation of blood flow velocity vectors based on a multi-angle Doppler method with focused transmit beam and parallel receive beamforming. It was shown that the lowest estimation error was achieved at a steering angle of 25 degrees by simulation. Also, velocity vectors with typical velocity magnitudes and directions could be obtained by the proposed method in in vivo measurement of a carotid artery.
