Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises receiving a scan protocol, wherein the scan protocol comprises protocol information pertaining to a set of imaging parameters for imaging a patient; extracting at least one textual protocol parameter from the received scan protocol; generating a combined dataset based on the extracted textual protocol parameters; determining at least one keyword score, the determining the at least one keyword score includes applying a keyword scoring algorithm to the combined dataset to determine the at least one keyword score; determining a selected standardized scan protocol based on the at least one keyword score, the determining the selected standardized scan protocol includes selecting the selected standardized scan protocol out of a plurality of standardized scan protocols; mapping the scan protocol to the selected standardized scan protocol; and providing the mapping of the scan protocol to the selected standardized scan protocol.
