Methods and systems are provided for ultrasound imaging, and in particular, for controlling a position of an ultrasound probe. In one example, a probe guide comprises a body shaped to receive an ultrasound probe and including a first detent shaped to maintain the ultrasound probe in a first rotational position along an axis of the body and a second detent shaped to maintain the ultrasound probe in a second rotational position along the axis of the body.

Systems and methods for ultrasound probe positioning

Methods and systems are provided for receiving beamforming of ultrasound signals to generate ultrasound images with increased resolution. In one example, a method for an ultrasound system including a plurality of ultrasound transducers each coupled to a respective receive channel includes time-delaying a set of ultrasound receive channel signals to form a plurality of time-delayed sets of ultrasound receive channel signals, each time-delayed set of ultrasound receive channel signals time-delayed based on a different beamforming sound speed, calculating a beamforming quality metric for each receive channel and for each time-delayed set of ultrasound receive channel signals, and generating an ultrasound image from ultrasound receive channel signals selected from the plurality of time-delayed sets of ultrasound receive channel signals based on each beamforming quality metric.
