Method for carrying out a magnetic resonance imaging examination of an anatomic region of a subject

A magnetic resonance imaging system for examining a subject, the magnetic resonance imaging system comprising:

• a magnetic resonance scanner;
• and
• a controller, wherein the controller is configured to initiate a fast metal detection sequence via the magnetic resonance scanner and/or via a metal detector, and initiate a standard examination workflow including scanning the subject with a standard scan protocol of the magnetic resonance scanner after no metal object is detected during the fast metal detection sequence, and initiate a modified examination workflow that is different from the standard examination workflow, wherein the modified examination workflow is initiated after a metal object is detected during the fast metal detection sequence, wherein the modified examination workflow comprises a metal localizer scan comprising a turbo-spin-echo sequence with high-bandwidth excitation and receive parameters, wherein the metal localizer scan provides at least one scout image with reduced signal voids around the metal object compared to a standard localizer scan, wherein the modified examination workflow further comprises a request for a user to specify a region of interest on the at least one scout image.
