Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for augmenting patient-technologist communication, before, during, and after a medical imaging procedure. In accordance with certain embodiments, a system includes a processor and a computer readable storage medium in communication with the processor. The processor executes program instructions stored in the computer readable storage medium which cause the computer processor to generate media that relates to a medical imaging procedure as a function of information in an electronic medical record that corresponds to a patient and output the media that relates to a medical imaging procedure to a display or a speaker.

Claims (11)

1. A system comprising:

a processor;

a computer readable storage medium in communication with the processor, wherein the processor executes program instructions stored in the computer readable storage medium which cause the computer processor to:

generate a graphical user interface comprising:

a plurality of icons that each correspond to a media file stored in a computer readable storage medium,

wherein each icon displays information or an instruction relating to a medical imaging procedure, and

wherein the media file includes information or instructions that corresponds to the displayed information or instruction;

output the graphical user interface to a first display in a first location; and

output the media file that corresponds to an icon to a speaker in a second location with a patient in response to a technologist in the first location selecting the icon, wherein the media file includes a prompt for the patient.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein a set of icons in the plurality of icons displays a same instruction and a language, and wherein the language displayed in each of the icons in the set of icons corresponds to a language of the media file that corresponds to each icon.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the media file is stored in a node of a cloud computing environment.
