Abstract
A computer-implemented method for identifying an optimal set of parameters for medical image acquisition includes receiving a set of input parameters corresponding to a medical imaging scan of a patient and using a model of operator parameter selection to determine a set of optimal target parameter values for a medical image scanner based on the set of input parameters. The medical imaging scan of the patient is performed using the set of optimal target parameter values to acquire one or more images and feedback is collected from one or more users in response to acquisition of the one or more images. This feedback is used to update the model of operator parameter selection, thereby yielding an updated model of operator parameter selection.
