Abstract
A system and method determines efficiency data of a technician performing a Medical Data Acquisition Procedure (MDAP), using a Medical Data Acquisition System (MDAS). The method includes receiving timing data including Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) metadata obtained during the MDAP by the MDAS. The DICOM metadata includes time duration information relating to each of a plurality of stages of the MDAP. The method includes determining the efficiency data of the technician as a function of the timing data and predetermined efficiency data defined for the MDAP using the MDAS.
