Synopsis

Keywords: Acquisition Methods, Signal Representations, Workflow, Reproducibility

Motivation: Adapt the MR imaging for patient specific anatomical coverage.

Goal(s): Adapt MRI protocol while maintaining contrast, SNR and scan time in patient specific MR imaging.

Approach: The Intelligent slice placement estimated the brain segmentation and key landmarks for determining imaging volume center, orientation and coverage. The MRI protocol is then adjusted to demonstrate that contrast, SNR and scan time can be maintained within limits.

Results: The MRI images with patient adaptive MR imaging have similar view and coverage of anatomy while contrast, SNR and scan time is maintained.

Impact: MRI protocol adaption (while maintaining contrast, SNR and scan time within limits) demonstrated in this abstract along with anatomical coverage for patient adaptive scanning is essential for consistent high quality MRI imaging within and across clinical sites.
