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.

Camera view and screen scraping for information extraction from imaging scanner consoles

An apparatus for use with a medical imaging device () operative in conjunction with a contrast injector () to perform a contrast enhanced medical imaging procedure. The apparatus includes: an alert output device (), and at least one electronic processor () operatively connected with the alert output device and programmed to: extract image frames from video or screen sharing () of a display ('); screen-scrape injector settings of the contrast injector from the image frames; and output an alert () via the alert output device if the screen-scraped injector settings satisfy an alert criterion.

Automated system for error checking injection parameters during imaging exams

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.
