Improving the image quality of medical images

A computer-implemented method of modifying a set of one or more imaging parameters for a medical imaging process, the computer-implemented method comprising iteratively performing, until one or more first predetermined criteria are met, a first process comprising:

• performing, until one or more second predetermined criteria are met, a second process comprising:
• obtaining raw or partially-processed medical imaging data;
• processing the raw or partially-processed medical imaging data using the set of one or more imaging parameters to produce processed medical imaging data;
• determining one or more first image quality metrics by processing the processed medical imaging data using at least one no-reference image quality metric technique;
• and
• modifying the set of one or more imaging parameters responsive to the determined one or more first image quality metrics;
• obtaining raw or partially-processed reference medical imaging data used for at least one full-reference image quality metric technique;
• processing the raw or partially-processed reference medical imaging data using the set of one or more imaging parameters produced by the second process to produce comparison medical imaging data;
• determining one or more second image quality metrics by processing the comparison medical imaging data using the at least one full-reference image quality metric technique;
• and
• modifying the set of one or more imaging parameters responsive to the determined one or more second image quality metrics.
