This invention relates to an imaging system and more particularly to imaging system operational property monitoring and describes an approach that makes key parameters available remotely from a collection of imaging systems for trending, ranking, analysis and further service telemetry. A method includes obtaining a set of operational properties of an imaging system. The method further includes identifying an operational property of the set of operational properties that intermittently falls outside of a predetermined operational range and does not require immediate service of the imaging system. The method further includes generating a trend for the identified operational property. The method further includes comparing the generated trend with at least one reference trend. The method further includes determining the imaging system should be serviced based on the comparison. The method further includes generating a service notification signal in response to determining the imaging system should be serviced, where the service notification signal invokes service of the imaging system.
