1. A medical imaging system comprising:
a medical imaging system component, wherein the medical imaging system component comprises:
an optical image generator configured to generate a two-dimensional image;
an optical imaging system configured to acquire optical image data; and
an optical waveguide bundle comprising a subject end and an equipment end, wherein the subject end comprises at least one lens; wherein the optical image generator is configured to optically project light representative of a two-dimensional image into the equipment end of the optical waveguide bundle for visual projection of the two-dimensional image through the at least one lens at the subject end of the optical waveguide bundle, and wherein the optical imaging system is configured to optically acquire an image through the at least one lens into the subject end of the optical waveguide bundle, the image projected into the optical imaging system through the equipment end of the optical waveguide bundle, the acquired image constituting optical image data;
wherein a same optical channel of the optical waveguide bundle is used to transmit the two-dimensional image to the subject end of the optical waveguide bundle and to transmit the acquired image to the equipment end of the optical waveguide bundle, and
wherein the medical imaging system further comprises:
a memory configured to store machine executable instructions and imaging commands configured to control the medical imaging system to acquire medical imaging data;
a processor configured to control the medical imaging system, wherein execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to:
acquire the medical imaging data by controlling the medical imaging system with the imaging commands; and
control the optical image generator to generate the two-dimensional image during the acquisition of the medical imaging data;
control the optical imaging system to acquire the optical image data during the acquisition of the medical imaging data;
determine subject motion data from the optical image data; and
control the optical image generator to render a motion feedback indicator using the subject motion data.
