Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein for determining whether to extend scanning performed by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. According to some embodiments, there is provided a method for imaging a subject using an MRI system, comprising: obtaining data for generating at least one magnetic resonance image of the subject by operating the MRI system in accordance with a first pulse sequence; prior to completing the obtaining the data in accordance with the first pulse sequence, determining to collect additional data to augment and/or replace at least some of the obtained data; determining a second pulse sequence to use for obtaining the additional data; and after completing the obtaining the data in accordance with the first pulse sequence, obtaining the additional data by operating the MRI system in accordance with the second pulse sequence.
