Methods and apparatus to capture patient vitals in real time during an imaging procedure

A method comprising:

• capturing, using at least one processor triggered by an imaging procedure, a visual vital information corresponding to a patient or an audible vital information corresponding to the patient during the imaging procedure, wherein the visual vital information is captured from a vital monitor during the imaging procedure;
• tagging, using the at least one processor, the visual vital information or the audible vital information with an identifier of the patient;
• obtaining a medical image of the patient, the medical image captured during the imaging procedure;
• determining, utilizing the identifier of the patient, that the at least one of the visual vital information or the audible vital information correspond to the medical image of the patient;
• in response to determining that the at least one of the visual vital information or the audible vital information does not correspond to the medical image, triggering a recapture of the at least one of the visual vital information or the audible vital information;
• and
• embedding the at least one of the visual vital information or the audible vital information with the medical image obtained from the imaging procedure to form a composite image.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least:

• capture a visual vital information corresponding to a patient or an audible vital information corresponding to the patient during an imaging procedure, the visual vital information captured from a vital monitor during the imaging procedure;
• tag the visual vital information or the audible vital information with an identifier corresponding to the patient;
• obtain a medical image of the patient, the medical image captured during the imaging procedure;
• determine, utilizing the identifier of the patient, at least one of the visual vital information or the audible vital information corresponding to the medical image of the patient;
• in response to determining the at least one of the visual vital information or the audible vital information does not correspond to the medical image, trigger a recapture of the at least one of the visual vital information or the audible vital information;
• and
• embed the at least one of the visual vital information or the audible vital information with the medical image obtained from the imaging procedure to form a composite image.
