Wireless ultrasound scanner with variable quick response (qr) code

A method of connecting a wireless ultrasound scanner with a host system for performing ultrasound imaging of a subject, the method comprising:

• receiving at least one parameter providing information related to the ultrasound imaging;
• determining content of a quick response (QR) code based on the at least one parameter, wherein the content of the QR code is variable;
• generating the QR code to include the determined content;
• rendering and displaying the QR code in a display arranged on the ultrasound scanner;
• and
• reading the QR code at the host system using a QR scanner to retrieve the content of the QR code, enabling performance of the ultrasound imaging of the subject.

An ultrasound scanner for acquiring ultrasound images of a subject, the ultrasound scanner comprising:

• a handheld housing;
• a transducer array arranged within the housing, wherein the transducer array comprises a plurality of transducer elements configured to emit ultrasound signals into the subject, and to receive ultrasound echo signals responsive to the ultrasound signals being reflected in the subject;
• a transceiver configured to establish wireless communication with a host system via a wireless communication link;
• at least one processor arranged within the housing, wherein the at least one processor is configured to obtain configuration information of the wireless communication link for establishing wireless communication with the host system, to determine content of a quick response (QR) code based on the configuration information, and to generate the QR code, wherein the content of the QR code is variable;
• and
• a display arranged on the housing, wherein the display is configured to render and display the QR code generated by the at least one processor, wherein the QR code is readable by a QR scanner of the host system to establish the wireless communication.
