Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of identifying image acquisition parameters, the method comprising: receiving, in relation to a patient, a patient data set including one or both of one or more preliminary scans of the patient and patient information; computing one or more patient characteristics defining characteristics of the patient based on one or both of the one or more preliminary scans and the patient information of the patient data set received in relation to the patient; referencing one or more other patient data sets, each of the other patient data sets defining characteristics of a respective individual of a population of individuals other than the patient; grouping the received patient data set with one or more referenced other patient data sets based on similarities between the patient and one or more individuals corresponding to the one or more referenced other patient data sets, given the one or more computed patient characteristics of the patient; and identifying one or more recommended image acquisition parameters suitable for the patient data set using the grouping of the received patient data set with one or more referenced other patient data sets.
