Ultrasound probe with improved center position detection

An ultrasound probe comprising:

• a distal portion comprising a first magnet and a first sensor;
• and
• a proximal portion comprising a transducer, a second magnet, and a second sensor, the proximal portion positioned at a head of the ultrasound probe;
• and
• a processing circuit comprising a processor coupled to a memory device storing instructions thereon, the processing circuit configured to:
• detect a first voltage signal edge via the first magnet and the first sensor;
• rotate, based on locating the first voltage signal edge, the transducer from a first position to a second position to locate a second voltage signal edge via the second magnet and the second sensor;
• determine a difference between the first voltage signal edge and the second voltage signal edge;
• and
• rotate, based on the difference being within a predetermined threshold, the transducer from the second position to the first position, the first position being a central position.
