Automated quality assessment of MRI is of great importance to derive reliable diagnostic information. In this work, a synthetic noise-based method is proposed which allows automated data quality classification. Only a prescan measurement of noise and a single image acquisition are required. The validation based on 764 head scans confirms the robustness and reliability of the method. As integrated as a prototype in online image reconstruction, it can greatly improve clinical workflow as MR technologist is provided with immediate feedback and can potentially repeat low-quality scans within the same session.
