For example, a protocol may require specific anatomical coverage (e.g. top of the head to ~C2/3 vertebral bodies, with left ear-to-right ear extent), which must be met by acquired MR image data .

This module will be part of a larger pipeline to assess overall quality and compliance on MRI modalities. **Current Status:** This is a new module to run on DICOM images, specifically brain MRI images in DICOM format. This module will execute on DICOM images acquired in real-time or on-demand by Niffler. For testing purposes during the application period and early stages of development, brain MRI images obtained from public data sources such as [the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA)](https://www.cancerimagingarchive.net/) can be used.
