    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for performing a scan of a subject utilizing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes initiating, via a processor, a prescan of the subject by an MRI scanner of the MRI system without a priori knowledge as to whether the subject has a metal implant. The computer-implemented method also includes executing, via the processor, a metal detection algorithm during a prescan entry point of the prescan to detect whether the metal implant is present in the subject. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, via the processor, to proceed with a calibration scan and the scan utilizing predetermined scan parameters when no metal implant is detected in the subject. The computer-implemented method even further includes switching, via the processor, into a metal implant scan mode when one or more metal implants are detected in the subject.

    Abstract: A method and a system include obtaining calibration scan data or low resolution images of a subject acquired with a magnetic resonance (MR) scanner of an MR imaging system. The method and the system also include inputting the calibration data or the low resolution images into a trained deep learning-based multi-mask segmentation network. The method and the system further include outputting labeled mask images for different anatomical stations, wherein a respective mask of a respective labeled mask image highlights an anatomical landmark of interest in each respective anatomical station of the different anatomical stations. The method and the system even further include determining an extent of a respective anatomical landmark of interest in each respective anatomical station of the different anatomical stations for a respective localizer scan for each respective anatomical station based at least on a respective label mask image for each respective anatomical station.

    Abstract: A method for performing a scan of a subject includes receiving a selected protocol for the scan and triggering, upon receiving a start signal, automatic landmarking of the subject on a table of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) camera. The method includes obtaining landmark positioning data from the 3D camera and utilizing the landmark positioning data for localization of the region of interest. The method includes, subsequent to the automatic landmarking, triggering a calibration scan of the subject with the MRI scanner and obtaining calibration data from the MRI scanner and utilizing the calibration data for refining the localization of the region of interest. The method includes generating a geometry plan for subsequent scans utilizing both the landmark positioning data and the calibration data and triggering at least one subsequent scan of the subject with the MRI scanner based on the geometry plan.
