    Abstract: An imaging system (10) includes: an image acquisition device (12), a device controller (16) comprising an electronic processor (20) programmed to operate the image acquisition device to acquire medical images of a patient and to maintain a machine log (26) storing an operating history of the image acquisition device; a server computer (34) programmed to retrieve patient information from at least one health information system (HIS) (18); and at least one feedback device (50, 52). The device controller, the server computer, or a combination of the device controller and server computer is programmed to implement at least one state machine (30, 44) having a plurality of states defined by values of state variables wherein the states represent respective attainable states of an image acquisition procedure (100) and the image acquisition device. The at least one state machine is configured to transition between states during the image acquisition procedure whereby the at least one state machine represents a current state of the image acquisition procedure and the image acquisition device, wherein the values of the state variables of the at least one state machine are determined based at least on content of the machine log for the image acquisition device and patient information retrieved by the server computer from the at least one HIS. The at least one feedback device is configured to provide guidance to an operator for performing the image acquisition procedure based on a current state of the at least one state machine.

    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium (107, 127) stores instructions executable by at least one electronic processor (101, 113) to perform a service work order (SWO) method (200). The method includes via a user interface (UI) (140), receiving entry of a SWO report (136); applying at least one automated analysis to the SWO report to detect information missing from the SWO report and/or to generate a completeness score (138) for the SWO report; via the UI, providing an indication (142) of the information missing from the SWO report and/or the completeness score for the SWO report; and storing the SWO report in a SWO database (111).

    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium (26s) stores instructions executable by at least one electronic processor (14s) to perform a method (100) of monitoring a quality assurance (QA) procedure performed using a medical device (2). The method includes receiving a signal indicating a start of the QA procedure; analyzing video (17) of the medical device acquired after receiving the signal to detect one or more errors during the QA procedure; and providing a remedial action addressing the detected one or more errors.

    Abstract: The invention provides for a medical imaging system (100, 400) comprising a memory (110) storing machine executable instructions (120) and a configured artificial neural network (122). The medical imaging system further comprises a processor (104) configured for controlling the medical imaging system. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to receive (200) magnetic resonance imaging data (124), wherein the magnetic resonance imaging data is BOLD functional magnetic resonance imaging data descriptive of a time dependent BOLD signal (1100) for each of a set of voxels. Execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the processor to construct (202) a set of initial signals (126) by reconstructing the time dependent BOLD signal for each of the set of voxels using the magnetic resonance imaging data. Execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the processor to receive (204) a set of modified signals (128) in response to inputting the set of initial signals into the configured artificial neural network. The configured artificial neural network is configured for removing physiological artifacts from the set of initial signals.
