Patent number: 11903691Abstract: A method to automatically align magnetic resonance (MR) scans for diagnostic scan planning includes acquiring a three-dimensional (3D) localizer image of an anatomical object. One or more initial landmarks are identified in the 3D localizer image using a landmarking engine. One or more main axes associated with the anatomical object are identified based on the one or more initial landmarks. The 3D localizer image is registered to a canonical space based on the main axes associated to yield a registered 3D localizer image. The landmarking engine is applied to the registered 3D localizer image to yield one or more updated landmarks. A plurality of reference points for performing a MR scan are computed based on the one or more updated landmarks.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Siemens Healthineers AGInventors: Fitsum Aklilu Reda, Yiqiang Zhan, Martin Harder
