==Original Abstract Submitted==

The invention relates to a method for optimizing an examination protocol for executing a magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition from a body of a patient. It is an object of the invention to facilitate efficient implementation of accelerated (e.g., artificial intelligencebased) examination protocols that are a true or very close replacement for examination protocols already existing in clinical practice. It should be made possible to provide each individual clinic with specific optimized versions of their own standard examination protocols. As a solution, the method of the invention comprises the steps of: providing an examination protocol containing specifications of two or more imaging sequences; in a computer, executing at least one algorithm processing said examination protocol as an input to perform an optimization with regard to the speed of execution of the examination protocol, taking into account diagnostic relevance weightings assigned to the imaging sequences contained in the examination protocol; and making an output available representing said optimized examination protocol to a user and/or executing the MR image acquisition on an MR scanner based on said optimized examination protocol. Moreover, the invention relates to an MR scanner (), to a computer () and to a computer program for an MR scanner ().
