US 2026/0247422 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING QUALITY OF SERVICE WHEN TRANSMITTING ULTRASOUND IMAGE DATA OVER A WIRELESS CONNECTION

Abstract

The present embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for ultrasound imaging. The methods may involve: establishing a wireless network between an ultrasound imaging device and a display device; acquiring ultrasound image data using ultrasound acquisition parameters; transmitting the ultrasound image data from the ultrasound imaging device to the display device over the wireless network; receiving the ultrasound image data; measuring a quality of service parameter of the received ultrasound image data; determining whether the measured quality of service parameter is less than an expected quality of service parameter, the expected quality of service parameter being determined based on the ultrasound acquisition parameters used to acquire the ultrasound image data; and in response to determining that the measured quality of service parameter is less than the expected quality of service parameter, adjusting a network parameter of the wireless network to reduce network traffic on the wireless network.
