1. A computer-implemented method for performing at least one medical imaging procedure using an imaging modality, the medical imaging procedure being performed under remote supervision, the computer-implemented method comprising:
acquiring, with a computing unit, data on the medical imaging procedure to be performed;
acquiring, with the computing unit, data on at least one expert operator located at a workplace remote from the imaging modality;
matching, with the computing unit, the data on the medical imaging procedure acquired with the data on the at least one expert operator acquired;
assigning, with the computing unit, at least one expert operator to the medical imaging procedure based on the matching;
providing a communication channel between the imaging modality and the remote workplace;
acquiring, with the computing unit, data on at least one local operator located at a site of the imaging modality;
matching the data on the medical imaging procedure with the data on the at least one local operator;
determining a conformity degree based on a total number of items of the data on the at least one local operator that match the medical imaging procedure; and
assigning the at least one local operator to the medical imaging procedure based on the conformity degree being greater than or equal to a desired threshold;
wherein the communication channel enables the at least one assigned expert operator to remotely perform the medical imaging procedure.
