1. A method comprising:
receiving, by an ultrasound probe, software version data from a user computing device, wherein the user computing device comprises a display configured to display images from the ultrasound probe;
determining, by the ultrasound probe, based upon comparison of data on the ultrasound probe with the software version data from the user computing device that a software upgrade is available for the ultrasound probe;
receiving, by the ultrasound probe, software upgrade data into a memory module of the ultrasound probe, wherein the software upgrade data comprises data for upgrading at least one portion of the ultrasound probe; and
upgrading, by the ultrasound probe, the at least one portion of the ultrasound probe from the software upgrade data, wherein upgrading further comprises comparing, by the ultrasound probe, a computed cyclical redundancy code from the at least one portion of the ultrasound probe with a cyclical redundancy code of the software upgrade data and determining, by the ultrasound probe, that software of the at least one portion of the ultrasound probe is outdated based upon a comparison between the computed cyclical redundancy code and the cyclical redundancy code of the software upgrade data.
