Abstract: A method for determining a quality rating data (QRD) of a medical data acquisition system (MDAS) includes receiving first data which includes utilization errors by an MDAS that occurred while performing a data acquisition procedure (DAP), by a data acquisition component of the MDAS, to acquire medical data. The method also includes generating second data as a function of the first data, the second data being indicative of categories of the utilization errors, wherein at least one utilization error is assigned to a corresponding category based on a predetermined parameter. The method further includes determining the quality rating data as a function of a total number of MDAS utilizations, a corresponding coefficient for the corresponding utilization error category and a number of utilization errors in the corresponding error category.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for determining a quality rating data (QRD) of a medical data acquisition system (MDAS). The method and arrangement comprise of receiving first data, which includes utilization errors occurred during performing a data acquisition procedure (DAP), by a data acquisition component of the MDAS, on a patient to acquire medical data. The method and arrangement further comprise generating second data as a function of the first data. The second data is indicative of categories of the utilization errors, wherein at least one utilization error is assigned to a corresponding category based on a predetermined parameter. The method and arrangement further comprise determining the QRD as a function of a total number of MDAS utilizations, a predetermined coefficient for the corresponding error category and a number of utilization errors in the corresponding error category.
