    Abstract: Certain embodiments pertain to cross-amplitude modulation (xAM) ultrasound imaging methods and systems configured to excite a first subaperture of transducer elements to transmit a first ultrasound plane wave, excite a second subaperture of transducer elements to transmit a second ultrasound plane wave noncollinear to the first ultrasound plane wave, the second ultrasound plane wave axisymmetric to the first ultrasound plane wave about a bisector, and simultaneously excite both first and second subapertures to transmit first and second ultrasound plane waves to cause an acoustic pressure above a threshold along the bisector.
