Abstract
A system and method is provided for controlling an acquisition system to obtain, based on a currently acquired set of projection data, a next set of projection data that is to be acquired using a set of learned imaging conditions. The set of learned imaging conditions are, at least in part, based on training data including projection data and dose information. In one embodiment, the initial dose and angle for obtaining the initial set of projection data are chosen at random. In another embodiment, the initial dose and angle for obtaining the initial set of projection data are chosen based on a test scan and a trained neural network for outputting the initial dose and angle using a loss function.
