Imaging protocols are modified in real time through implementation of artificial intelligence. Key steps include: inputting of medical images and patient data; performing artificial intelligence analysis; outputting a potentially modified radiological imaging examination protocol; if applicable, an option for the radiologist to review the patient data, images acquired and the AI's potentially modified radiological imaging examination protocol; delivery of the modified radiological imaging examination protocol to the imaging device; and, if applicable, an option for the radiologist to provide feedback and re-train the artificial intelligence algorithm. Further, some of the images that are utilized by the AI system include processed images, such as segmented and filtered volume rendered images.
