Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for automatic placement of at least one saturation band on a medical image, which may direct saturation pulses during a MRI scan. A method may include acquiring a localizer image of an imaging subject, determining a plane mask for the localizer image by entering the localizer image as input to a deep neural network trained to output the plane mask based on the localizer image, generating a saturation band based on the plane mask by positioning the saturation band at a position and an angulation of the plane mask, and outputting a graphical prescription for display on a display device, the graphical prescription including the saturation band overlaid on the medical image.
