Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method of 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 scout scan data, the received scout scan data including scout scan information and scout scan parameters;
generating the generated simulated image based on the received scout scan data, scan acquisition parameters; and image reconstruction parameters;
deriving a simulated dose map from the received scout scan data and the scan acquisition parameters;
evaluating 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, based on the evaluating, imaging protocol parameters based on the scan acquisition parameters and the image reconstruction parameters.
