1. An imaging system, comprising:

  • memory for buffering a number of data streams of signals produced by transducer elements; and

    a number of stages, each including processor electronics operable to delay and combine at least a portion of data in the buffered data streams to align data to a point on a beamline within a field of view, wherein the processor electronics for stages after a first stage are operable to buffer and re-delay at least a portion of the data streams from a previous stage to align the data to a point on a new beamline, reduce the number of data streams that are aligned to a point on a beamline in a subsequent stage and increase an effective size of the transducer elements.
