Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 11:
12. A method, comprising:
acquiring a single full dataset of ultrasound signals for a region of interest with a wireless hand-held probe assembly;
establishing a first wireless connection between the wireless hand-held probe assembly and an image processing hub;
transmitting a first dataset from the single full dataset acquired by the wireless hand-held probe assembly to the image processing hub in real-time via the first wireless connection;
generating lower resolution images from the first dataset at the image processing hub in real-time;
transmitting the lower resolution images from the image processing hub to a display device of an operator of the wireless hand-held probe assembly in real-time;
establishing a second wireless connection between the wireless hand-held probe assembly and the image processing hub, the second wireless connection using a different bandwidth than the first wireless connection, wherein the first wireless connection is a separate connection from the second wireless connection;
transmitting a second dataset from the single full dataset acquired by the wireless hand-held probe assembly to the image processing hub via the second wireless connection; and
generating higher resolution images at the image processing hub from the second dataset, wherein the second dataset comprises some or all of the first dataset and additional data acquired by the wireless hand-held probe assembly that is not included in the first dataset,
wherein the data used for the first dataset and the second dataset is based on the single full dataset of ultrasound signals acquired by the wireless hand-held probe assembly.
