    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining diagnostic-scan parameters for a magnetic resonance (MR) diagnostic-scan, from MR calibration images, enabling acquisition of high-resolution diagnostic images of one or more anatomical regions of interest, while bypassing acquisition of localizer images, increasing a speed and efficiency of MR diagnostic-scanning. In one embodiment, a method for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system comprises, acquiring a magnetic resonance (MR) calibration image of an imaging subject, mapping the MR calibration image to a landmark map using a trained deep neural network, determining one or more diagnostic-scan parameters based on the landmark map, acquiring an MR diagnostic image according to the diagnostic-scan parameters, and displaying the MR diagnostic image via a display device.

    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.
