Claim 7:
8. An apparatus for generating a patient-specific imaging protocol using a neural network having been trained to generate at least one probabilistic quality representation corresponding to at least one region of a generated simulated image, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
receive scout scan data, the received scout scan data including scout scan information and scout scan parameters,
generate the generated simulated image based on the received scout scan data, scan acquisition parameters, and image reconstruction parameters,
derive a simulated dose map from the received scout scan data and the scan acquisition parameters,
evaluate a determined image quality of the generated simulated image relative to a predetermined image quality threshold and the derived simulated dose map relative to a predetermined dosage threshold, and
generate, based on the evaluating, imaging protocol parameters based on the scan acquisition parameters and the image reconstruction parameters.
