    Abstract: A system (100) includes a processor (182) configured to generate (300) an unauthorized imaging order (122) for a patient from a follow-up recommendation for the patient. The unauthorized imaging order comprises a first anatomy, a first modality and/or a time interval. The processor is further configured to receive (320) an authorized imaging order (110) for the patient which includes a second anatomy and a second modality, and in response to an imaging examination of the patient according to the authorized imaging order and a determined overlap of the authorized imaging order and the unauthorized imaging order, acknowledge (360) that the follow-up recommendation has been satisfied by modifying a status of the unauthorized imaging order.

    Abstract: An apparatus provides remote assistance to a local operator of a medical imaging device disposed in a medical imaging device bay via a communication link from a remote location that is remote from the medical imaging device bay to the medical imaging device bay. The apparatus includes a workstation disposed at the remote location including at least one workstation display. At least one electronic processor is programmed to, over the course of a medical imaging examination performed using the medical imaging device: extract successive image frames from video or screen sharing of a controller display of the medical imaging device; screen-scrape information related to the medical imaging examination from the successive image frames over the course of the medical imaging examination; maintain status information on the medical imaging examination at least in part using the screen-scraped information; and output an alert perceptible at the remote location when the status information on the medical imaging examination satisfies an alert criterion.
