To enable fully free-breathing, single button-push liver exams, an automated AI-based method for image prescription of liver MRI was developed and evaluated. A total of seven classes of rectangular bounding boxes covering the liver, torso, and arms for each localizer orientation were manually and automatically labeled to enable 3D prescription in any orientation. The intersection over union (IoU) between manual and automated 2D liver detection had a median > 0.88 and interquartile range < 0.11 for all classes. The shift in the resultant 3D axial prescription was less than 9 mm in S/I dimension for 91% of the test dataset.
