    Abstract: A method of estimating the volume flow in a vessel utilising ultrasound techniques comprising the steps of imaging the vessel utilising an ultrasonic transducer array so as to produce fluid velocity information for the vessel, the plane formed by the beams emitted by the transducers having a direction which is offset from an axis of the vessel such that the beam plane forms an elliptical section within the vessel; and utilising the velocity information for points within the vessel and the elliptical section to calculate a mean velocity for the fluid flow through the elliptical section.
