1. An ultrasound imaging system, comprising: a control device configured to receive a user indication of a requirement of analysis of a material under investigation, the control device further configured to determine a number and shape of ultrasound beams for imaging of the material under investigation in accordance with the user indication; a transducer array configured to transmit ultrasound beams corresponding to the number and shape of ultrasound beams determined by the control device into the material under investigation, the transducer array further configured to detect echoes produced by the transmitted ultrasound beams and generate analog channel data responsive to the detected echoes; a multi-channel analog-to-digital converter configured to generate digital channel data, the digital channel data including amplitude and phase information; a channel data buffer configured to store the digital channel data a signal processor configured to generate multidimensional echolocation data through transformation of at least the amplitude and phase information of the stored digital channel, wherein the multidimensional echolocation data is generated without using transmit, receive, or scan lines; an echolocation data array configured to store the generated multidimensional echolocation data, wherein the echolocation data array comprises a pre-selected coordinate system; and an image converter configured to generate an image for display on a display device, wherein the multidimensional echolocation data stored in the pre-selected coordinate system of the echolocation data array is mapped to a specific location on the display device.
