Systems and methods for using a patient display is described. The described system includes a medical imaging system. The medical imaging system includes a gantry, a patient display, and a computer. The gantry at least partially circumscribes a patient viewing area. The patient display is viewable from the patient viewing area. The patient display is communicatively coupled to the computer. The computer is programmed to receive scan protocol instructions and control the patient display according to the predetermined scan protocol. It is further programmed to prompt the patient, using the patient display, to perform a bodily action that facilitates the scan and to provide the patient with at least one of entertainment and distraction using the patient display.
