1. An apparatus for providing image quality feedback during a medical imaging examination, the apparatus comprising at least one electronic processor programmed to:
receive a live video feed of a display of an imaging device controller of an imaging device performing the medical imaging examination;
extract a preview image from the live video feed by determining an anatomy of a patient being imaged by the imaging device, analyzing video frames of the live video feed to detect a video frame containing the preview image, and extracting the preview image from the detected video frame;
perform an image analysis on the extracted preview image to determine whether the extracted preview image satisfies an alert criterion, comprising performing an image quality analysis on the extracted preview image to determine whether the extracted preview image has an image quality issue; and
output an alert when the extracted preview image satisfies the alert criterion as determined by the image analysis, comprising outputting the alert indicating the image quality issue when the extracted preview image has the image quality issue as determined by the image quality analysis.
