Various methods and systems are provided for imaging a needle using an ultrasound imager. In one example, a method may include receiving a target path or a target area of a needle, and adjusting a steering angle of an ultrasound beam emitted from an ultrasound probe based on the target path or the target area.

Methods and systems for imaging a needle from ultrasound imaging data

A system and method for dynamically adjusting imaging parameters during an ultrasound scan is provided. The method includes acquiring regular ultrasound image frames based on a first set of imaging parameters and displaying the regular frames at a display system. The method includes intermittently acquiring a test ultrasound image frame based on a second set of imaging parameters having at least one imaging parameter that is different from the first set of imaging parameters. The test frame is not displayed. The method includes determining a regular frame image quality of at least one of the regular frames and a test frame image quality of the test frame. The method includes applying, in response to determining the test frame image quality exceeds the regular frame image quality, the second set of imaging parameters to acquire additional regular frames and displaying the additional regular frames at the display system.
