Abstract
Techniques are provided for imaging a subject. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system may use at least one RF coil to generate an initial MR data set for an initial image of the subject. The MRI system may use the initial MR image to determine a difference in orientation between a current orientation of the subject in the initial MR image and a target orientation of the subject. The MRI system may use the determined difference in orientation to determine an adjustment to a gradient pulse sequence for controlling at least one gradient coil. The MRI system may apply the determined adjustment to the gradient pulse sequence to obtain an adjusted gradient pulse sequence. The MRI system may generate an adjusted MR data set using the adjusted gradient pulse sequence, and a second MR image of the subject using the adjusted MR data set.
