Abstract
A method and a system include obtaining calibration scan data or low resolution images of a subject acquired with a magnetic resonance (MR) scanner of an MR imaging system. The method and the system also include inputting the calibration data or the low resolution images into a trained deep learning-based multi-mask segmentation network. The method and the system further include outputting labeled mask images for different anatomical stations, wherein a respective mask of a respective labeled mask image highlights an anatomical landmark of interest in each respective anatomical station of the different anatomical stations. The method and the system even further include determining an extent of a respective anatomical landmark of interest in each respective anatomical station of the different anatomical stations for a respective localizer scan for each respective anatomical station based at least on a respective label mask image for each respective anatomical station.
