a base portion comprising a first portion extending along a first axis and a second portion extending along a second axis, the first axis is transverse to the second axis; an ultrasound device configured to transmit or receive acoustic energy, the ultrasound device enclosed in a housing; the first portion comprises an engagement portion comprising a plurality of slots extending along the first axis, the housing is configured to removably attach to the base portion in one of a plurality of positions along the first axis via attaching to a first portion of the plurality of slots of the engagement portion; and the second portion comprises a head cradle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the engagement portion extends along the first axis. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the head cradle is sized and shaped to support at least one of a head of a subject or a neck of the subject. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a restrained configured to contact a head of the subject. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the head cradle extends along the second axis. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the ultrasound device is configured to move relative to the housing. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the housing is configured to be removably attached to the engagement portion by being moved along the first axis. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the ultrasound device is a first ultrasound device and the system further comprises a second ultrasound device; the housing is a first housing enclosing the first ultrasound device and the system further comprises a second housing enclosing the second ultrasound device; the engagement portion comprises a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion; the first housing is configured to removably attach to the base portion via the first engagement portion; and the second housing is configured to removably attach to the base portion via the second engagement portion. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the first housing is configured to be removably attached to the first engagement portion by being moved along the first axis in a first direction; and the second housing is configured to be removably attached to the second engagement portion by being moved along the first axis in a second direction. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite directions along the first axis. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the housing is configured to be adjustably locked along the engagement portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a latch to engagement one of the slots. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a workstation connected to the ultrasound device via a cable. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a monitor configured to display information determined using the ultrasound device. ### Claim 16 A method, comprising: providing a base portion comprising a first portion extending along a first axis and a second portion extending along a second axis, the first axis is transverse to the second axis; providing an ultrasound device configured to transmit or receive acoustic energy, the ultrasound device enclosed in a housing; providing an engagement portion comprising a plurality of slots extending along the first axis in the first portion; configuring the housing to removably attach to the base portion in one of a plurality of positions along the first axis via attaching to a first portion of the plurality of slots of the engagement portion; and providing a head cradle in the second portion. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis; the engagement portion extends along the first axis; and the head cradle extends along the second axis. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, comprising configuring the housing to be removably attached to the engagement portion by being moved along the first axis. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the ultrasound device is a first ultrasound device and the method further comprises providing a second ultrasound device; the housing is a first housing enclosing the first ultrasound device and the method further comprises providing a second housing enclosing the second ultrasound device; the engagement portion comprises a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion; the first housing is configured to removably attach to the base portion via the first engagement portion; and the second housing is configured to removably attach to the base portion via the second engagement portion. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the first housing is configured to be removably attached to the first engagement portion by being moved along the first axis in a first direction; and the second housing is configured to be removably attached to the second engagement portion by being moved along the first axis in a second direction.
