Systems and methods for automatically controlling a color flow steering angle during ultrasonic color flow imaging are provided. In one embodiment, a method for ultrasound imaging comprises automatically adjusting a color flow steering angle responsive to an adjustment of a focal depth setting. In this way, a sensitivity to color flow data may be increased by maintaining a constant overlap between a color flow image and a B-mode image, thereby increasing the accuracy of color flow imaging.

Methods and systems for automatic setting of color flow steering angle

An ultrasound probe comprises a body terminating at a nose, an ultrasound transducer adjacent the nose and facing a first direction, and a touchpad zone to detect a sliding gesture of a first digit. The first touchpad zone extends along a first surface facing a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
