The systems and methods described herein relate to providing spatial color flow imaging for diagnostic medical imaging. The systems and methods acquire ultrasound data along a first two-dimensional (2D) plane and at least a second 2D plane from a matrix array probe for a region of interest ROI), calculate a first flow velocity based on the ultrasound data along the first 2D plane, calculate a second flow velocity based on the ultrasound data along the second 2D plane, and generate a first color flow image based on the first flow velocity. The systems and methods further generate a second color flow image based on the second flow velocity, generate an anatomical image based on the ultrasound data on a display, and overlay the first and second color flow images to the anatomical image.
