Abstract
Systems and methods for MRI are provided. The systems obtain a reference MR image of a target subject. The reference MR image is acquired by performing a reference MR scan on a first anatomical structure of the target subject before a target MR scan. The target MR scan is to be performed on a second anatomical structure of the target subject. The second anatomical structure is smaller than the first anatomical structure. The systems determine geometrical information of the second anatomical structure based on the reference MR image. The systems determine a target scanning protocol with respect to the target MR scan based on the geometrical information. The systems acquire a target MR image of the second anatomical structure by performing the target scan based on the target scanning protocol. In the target MR image, the second anatomical structure is not overlapped with other anatomical structures of the target subject.
