Claim 0:
1. A method 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:
receiving, by processing circuitry, scout scan data, the received scout scan data including scout scan information and scout scan parameters;
generating, by the processing circuitry, the generated simulated image based on the received scout scan data; scan acquisition parameters, and image reconstruction parameters;
deriving, by the processing circuitry, a simulated dose map from the received scout scan data and the scan acquisition parameters;
evaluating, by the processing circuitry, 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
generating, by the processing circuitry and based on the evaluating, imaging protocol parameters based on the scan acquisition parameters and the image reconstruction parameters.
