International ClassG01V 003/00AbstractA method for prescribing geometry of an imaging volume of a structure of interest positioned in a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system. The method includes (a) establishing a communication connection over a network between the MR imaging system and a remote facility to provide remote services to the MR imaging systems; (b) selecting a first boundary plane of the structure of interest, wherein the first boundary plane is prescribed by a first imaging section of the structure of interest; (c) determining a first geometry information corresponding to the first imaging section of the structure of interest; (d) storing the first geometry information in the MR imaging system; (e) selecting a second boundary plane of the structure of interest, wherein the second boundary plane is prescribed by a first imaging section of the structure of interest; (f) determining the second geometry information corresponding to the second imaging section of the structure of interest; (g) storing the second geometry information in the MR imaging system; and (h) applying the first and second geometry information of the first and second imaging sections, respectively, to prescribe a boundary geometry defining a subsequent imaging volume of the structure of interest. At least one of steps (b) through (h) is done remotely.Other References
