  • Automated adjustment of the undersampling factor
    Patent number: 12117511
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of operating a medical system (100, 300). The method comprises receiving (200) pulse sequence commands (124) configured to control a magnetic resonance imaging system (302) to acquire k-space data (330) according to a Compressed Sensing magnetic resonance imaging protocol. The method further comprises receiving (202) magnetic resonance scan parameters that are descriptive of a configuration of the pulse sequence commands and a configuration of the magnetic resonance imaging system. The method further comprises receiving (204) an predicted undersampling factor (128) in response to inputting the magnetic resonance scan parameters into a neural network, wherein the neural network is configured to output the predicted undersampling factor in response to receiving magnetic resonance scan parameters. The method further comprises adjusting (206) the pulse sequence commands (130) to select or modify sampling of the k-space data based on the predicted undersampling factor.
