Method and apparatus for logging and dynamically configuring performance analysis of a medical diagnostic imaging system

An apparatus for logging information related to the performance of a medical diagnostic imaging system comprising:

• at least one medical diagnostic imaging subsystem having at least one parameter associated with performance of said subsystem;
• and
• an acquisition module dynamically acquiring raw performance data during operation of the medical diagnostic imaging subsystem;
• a processing module processing said raw performance data in real time during operation of said medical diagnostic imaging subsystem to produce characteristic data summarizing said raw performance data;
• and
• an output module outputting said characteristic data identifying the performance of the medical diagnostic imaging subsystem.

A method for dynamically calibrating a medical diagnostic imaging system, said method comprising:

• accessing a configuration file comprising configuration information for a medical diagnostic imaging system;
• obtaining and analyzing raw performance data during operation of said medical diagnostic system;
• and
• remotely calibrating said medical diagnostic imaging system based on a relationship between said configuration information and said raw performance data.

A method for real-time collection of raw performance data, said method comprising:

• remotely accessing a medical imaging system;
• accumulating raw performance data during operation of the medical imaging system, said raw performance data including at least one of temperature, current, voltage, image quality, performance, usage, wear, and dosage;
• and
• storing said raw performance data in a trending log.
