Sliding involves moving the entire probe in a specific direction to find a better imaging window. This motion is typically used to locate the optimal window, explore different areas of the body, or follow a structure like a vessel.
Sweep (or "Fanning")
Tilting involves moving the probe side-to-side along its short axis (imagine fanning your face with your hand). This motion allows for visualization of multiple cross-sectional images of a structure.
Rocking (or "Heeling")
Rocking involves moving the probe along the long axis, towards or away from the probe indicator. This helps center the area of interest while keeping the image in-plane throughout the adjustment.
Rotating
Rotation involves turning the probe along its central axis (clockwise or counterclockwise). This is often used to transition between the long and short axes of a structure, such as a vessel, the heart, or the kidney.
