    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 system and method are provided for generating a predictive model for use in optimizing a clinical workflow. The predictive model may be generated as follows. Workflow metadata is obtained which is indicative of the clinical workflow. A viewer log is obtained of an image viewer used by a physician to review one or more medical images. The viewer log may be indicative of one or more viewing actions performed by the physician using the image viewer. A diagnostic value of the one or more medical images is then estimated based on the viewing actions. The above steps are performed for different clinical workflows. A machine learning technique is then applied to the resulting plurality of diagnostic values and plurality of workflow metadata to generate the predictive model. The generated predictive model is predictive of the diagnostic value of medical images acquired by a particular clinical workflow given the workflow metadata of the particular clinical workflow. Advantageously, the predictive model can be used to modify the clinical workflow so as to increase the diagnostic value of the acquired images.
