Methods and systems are provided for improving image quality of ultrasound images by jointly selecting optimal scan parameter values. In one example, a method includes acquiring a plurality of ultrasound images of an anatomical region, each ultrasound image acquired at a different combination of parameter values for a first scan parameter and a second scan parameter, selecting a first parameter value for the first scan parameter and a second parameter value for the second scan parameter based on an image quality of each image, and acquiring one or more additional ultrasound images at the first parameter value and the second parameter value.
