Abstract
Techniques for optimizing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols are described herein. An example method can include receiving one or more MRI scanner settings for an imaging sequence; selecting at least one objective function from a plurality of objective functions; selecting an acquisition train length; selecting a k-space strategy; selecting one or more imaging parameters; and acquiring a magnetic resonance (MR) image using at least one of an optimized k-space strategy, an optimized acquisition train length, or optimized imaging parameters.
