System and methods for sequential scan parameter selection

A method, comprising:

• acquiring ultrasound information of an anatomical region with an ultrasound probe, processing the ultrasound information to generate a first set of replicate images, each replicate image of the first set of replicate images processed according to a different parameter value for a first post-acquisition processing parameter in order to generate a first plurality of images;
• selecting a first parameter value for the first post-acquisition processing parameter based on an image quality of each ultrasound image of the first plurality of ultrasound images;
• processing the ultrasound information to generate a second set of replicate images, each replicate image of the second set of replicate images processed according to a different parameter value for a second post-acquisition processing parameter in order to generate a second plurality of images;
• selecting a second parameter value for the second post-acquisition processing parameter based on an image quality of each ultrasound image of the second plurality of ultrasound images;
• and
• applying the first parameter value for the first post-acquisition processing parameter and the second parameter value for the second post-acquisition processing parameter to one or more additional ultrasound images.
