Claim:
1. A method, comprising: obtaining, by a processor, image data for a patient, wherein the image data corresponds to acquisition data from an imaging acquisition procedure of a set of planned image acquisition procedures in an examination plan for the patient; analyzing, by the processor, the image data based on an imaging practice guideline and producing electronically formatted data indicative of the analysis; obtaining, by the processor, electronically formatted previously imaged patient information for one or more previously imaged patients, wherein the previously imaged patient information includes at least one or more sets of performed image acquisition procedures performed for the previously imaged patients and one or more sets of data indicative of prior analyses of the previously imaged patients; comparing, by the processor, the planned image acquisition procedures to the sets of performed image acquisition procedures performed for the previously imaged patients to determine a likelihood that a change to the set of planned image acquisition procedures will be required for the patient, based on a comparison of the data indicative of the analysis and the data indicative of prior analyses, and providing, by the processor, a recommendation of a change to the set of planned image acquisition procedures based on the likelihood that a change to the planned image acquisition procedures will be required.
