A method of ultrasound imaging includes transmitting an ultrasound signal with an ultrasound transducer array. The method further includes receiving from the ultrasound transducer array electrical signals indicative of ultrasound echoes received by the ultrasound transducer array. The method further includes beamforming the electrical signals, which results in beamformed data. The method further includes processing the beamformed data, which generates an image. The image represents at least an anatomical vessel of interest. The method further includes processing the beamformed data, which generates flow direction data and flow magnitude data for blood cells flowing in a predetermined region of the anatomical vessel. The method further includes processing the flow direction data and the flow magnitude data, which creates a visualization of the flow direction data and the flow magnitude data for the entire predetermined region of the vessel. The method further includes visually presenting the image with the visualization superimposed thereover.
