1. An ultrasound scanning device comprising:
a frame having a first frame portion and a second frame portion independently pivoting about a coupling between the first frame portion and the second frame portion;
a first set of wheels coupled with the first frame portion;
a second set of wheels coupled with the second frame portion;
a rail movably disposed on the first frame portion and including a channel;
at least two rail arms operatively coupled with the channel, the at least two rail arms each respectively comprising a sensor assembly, the sensor assembly comprising:
a sensor fork;
a sensor coupled with the sensor fork; and
a sensor arm, the sensor arm being coupled with the sensor fork at a distal end of the sensor arm and being coupled with the rail arm at a proximal end of the sensor arm, wherein the sensor is adjustable between a first position and a second position via the rail.
