A medical image quality reporting and monitoring system for use in a medical imaging system comprises a medical image computer including, a display processor, a display and a report generator. The display processor generates data representing an image for display including a user selectable image element enabling a user to identify at least one medical image as having an image quality deficiency. The display presents the image. The report generator, in response to detection of selection of the image element, identifying at least one medical reduced quality image as having an image quality deficiency, automatically generates a report. The report comprises, data representing an anonymized reduced quality image having the image quality deficiency, a time of acquisition of the reduced quality image and imaging system acquisition settings used in acquiring the reduced quality image.

Medical image quality monitoring and improvement system

An error detection system is used by an image processing subsystem for detecting error in processing medical image data by multiple sequential subsystems using an image data processor. The image data processor in the image processing subsystem analyzes data representing a medical image to identify a sequence identifier associated with a subsystem preceding the image processing subsystem of the multiple sequential subsystems and identifies a position of the image relative to other images in an image sequence comprising multiple consecutive images. The image data processor uses the identified sequence identifier to detect an error in response to identifying at least one of, an unreadable sequence identifier and a missing sequence identifier. The image data processor incorporates a sequence identifier, in image data representing an area of the image associated with the image processing subsystem and initiates generation of an alert message in response to a detected error.
