Narrative:
I was pilot not flying; during the descent aircraft was on the left autopilot and autothrottles engaged engines were at flight idle. The right engine failed approximately at 18;000 ft. I declared an emergency using the standard 'mayday' three times and requesting direct to the airport. Captain took over the ATC communications and I got my QRH and began running the 'engine failure or shutdown' checklist and secured the right engine; after the checklist was complete the captain then communicated with the flight attendants. After we did the checklist and the flight attendants were briefed we discussed the abnormality and determined that the right engine had probably flamed out because we saw a message on the status page of the EICAS that displayed right engine lp pump. The engine parameters were normal and [we] decided to try and restart it. We ran the engine in-flight start checklist and the engine restarted at approximately 10;000 ft. We advised ATC and the flight attendants that we had the engine running again and continued to land. After landing and exiting the runway we were met by arff. The captain decided to shut down the right engine and asked arff to look at the right engine; they said everything looked fine. The captain again talked to the flight attendants; and passengers told them everything was ''ok' and we continued to the gate.

Title: B757-200 flight crew reported right engine flamed out on descent. Crew declared an emergency; ran the procedure; and successfully restarted the engine.
Narrative: I was pilot not flying; during the descent aircraft was on the left autopilot and autothrottles engaged engines were at flight idle. The right engine failed approximately at 18;000 FT. I declared an emergency using the standard 'MAYDAY' three times and requesting direct to the airport. Captain took over the ATC communications and I got my QRH and began running the 'Engine Failure or Shutdown' checklist and secured the right engine; after the checklist was complete the Captain then communicated with the flight attendants. After we did the checklist and the flight attendants were briefed we discussed the abnormality and determined that the right engine had probably flamed out because we saw a message on the STATUS page of the EICAS that displayed R ENG LP PUMP. The engine parameters were normal and [we] decided to try and restart it. We ran the Engine In-Flight Start checklist and the engine restarted at approximately 10;000 FT. We advised ATC and the flight attendants that we had the engine running again and continued to land. After landing and exiting the runway we were met by ARFF. The Captain decided to shut down the right engine and asked ARFF to look at the right engine; they said everything looked fine.
