Analyzing efficiency by extracting granular timing information

A method for determining efficiency and/or performance data for a Medical Data Acquisition Procedure (MDAP);

• performed by at least a first technician using at least a first Medical Data Acquisition System (MDAS), the method comprising:
• receiving first Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) metadata obtained during performance of the MDAP using the MDAS by the first technician, the DICOM metadata including timestamp information relating to events that occurred during the MDAP;
• determining first durations of a plurality of predefined stages of the MDAP on the basis of the timestamp information, each stage being defined as an interval between predetermined events;
• and
• determining the efficiency and/or performance data as a function of the determined durations and determining efficiency data of the first technician as a function of the determined durations and predetermined efficiency data defined for the MDAP using the first MDAS.
