Ultrasound probe, system, and method for moving a transducer of the ultrasound probe between a neutral position and an offset position based on detecting a non-usage trigger or a usage trigger

An ultrasound probe comprising:

• a transducer configured to:
• acquire ultrasound data of a region of interest of a subject;
• move from a neutral position to an offset position based on a detection of a non-usage trigger indicative of non-usage of the ultrasound probe for acquiring the ultrasound data of the region of interest of the subject;
• and
• move from the offset position to the neutral position based on a detection of a usage trigger indicative of usage of the ultrasound probe for acquiring the ultrasound data of the region of interest of the subject.

An ultrasound system comprising:

• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• detect a non-usage trigger indicative of non-usage of an ultrasound probe for acquiring ultrasound data of a region of interest of a subject;
• and
• control a transducer of the ultrasound probe to move from a neutral position to an offset position based on detecting the non-usage trigger.
