Method and system for enabling training of field service personnel and field service of machines

A computer implemented method for enabling field service of at least one machine selected from the group consisting of computed tomography (CT) machines, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, mammography machines, ultrasound machines, and x-ray machines, the computer implemented method comprising:

• obtaining a reference material search request;
• providing a list of at least one cataloged item associated with at least one reference material relating to field service of said at least one machine based on the reference material search request;
• and
• providing a copy of the at least one reference material associated with the at least one cataloged item.

A method for enabling training of field service personnel for at least one machine selected from the group consisting of computed tomography (CT) machines, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, mammography machines, ultrasound machines, and x-ray machines, the method comprising:

• obtaining at a first computing unit a reference material search request from a second computing unit coupled to the first computing unit via a communications network;
• providing to the second computing unit a list of at least one cataloged item associated with at least one reference material relating to training of field service personnel for said at least one machine from the first computing unit based on the reference material search request;
• and
• providing to the second computing unit a copy of the at least one reference material associated with the at least one cataloged item from the first computing unit.
