Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium (26) stores instructions executable by at least one electronic processor (20) to perform a method (100) of providing assistance from a remote expert (RE) to a local operator (LO) of a medical imaging device (2) during a medical imaging examination. The method includes: providing a user interface (UI) (29), on a remote workstation (12) operable by the remote expert, displaying a feed (17, 18) of at least an imaging bay (3) where the medical imaging device is disposed; detecting, by analysis of the feed, an event occurring in the imaging bay; and outputting, via the remote workstation, an alert (30) indicating the detected event.
