1. A method for conducting an ultrasonic-based inspection, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a plurality of scan plan parameters associated with generating an image of a target within a specimen;
applying the plurality of scan plan parameters to an acoustic model to determine a two-way pressure response of a plurality of inspection modes;
generating, by the acoustic model, for simultaneous presentation two or more different simulated outputs corresponding to different inspection modes of the plurality of inspection modes based on a same set of the plurality of scan plan parameters; and
generating, by the acoustic model based on the plurality of scan plan parameters, an acoustic region of influence (AROI) comprising one of the two or more different simulated outputs for one of the different inspection modes amongst the plurality of inspection modes.
