Synopsis

Keywords: MSK, Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence, Automatic prescription, coil sensitivity mapLarge-FOV, low-resolution 3D surface coil sensitivities maps are acquired as part of pre-scan which is typically used to calibrate the hardware of MRI system. In this abstract, we propose to use the coil sensitivity maps to automatically find the region of interest of spine anatomy. This information can be used to position the scout images accurately and automatically and thereby reduce any repeat of the scout scans and increase throughput. Our proposal does not need any additional scan and utilizes the existing information available in the MRI scanner.
