Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for dynamic, self-swarming smart tags. In one example, a system includes a plurality of smart tags each configured to be coupled to a respective component of a medical imaging system. Each smart tag of the plurality of smart tags is configured to broadcast identification information usable by other smart tags in order to dynamically form a family, the family formed based on the broadcast identification information matching stored identification information and further based on a proximity of each smart tag of the plurality of smart tags to one another.
