Magnet controls

Magnet controls provide the method for setting up patient comfort and scanning. The magnet controls are on two panels located on both sides of the magnet cover. The control panels have the same buttons, they are just located in a mirror image of each other. The control panel may have a subset of backlit buttons that light up to show what typically is the next step in the workflow. The lights are only typical next steps. You can choose to select another button at any time.
