Adapting medical imaging protocols to the individual patient has the potential to improve the information content and enhance the detection of subtle pathologies. We propose a framework for automated patient adaptive scanning in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on a pseudo-real-time imaging pipeline. Using adaptive scanning, improved tissue contrast is demonstrated for an inversion recovery MRI pulse sequence compared to the conventional equivalent.
