MR workflow concept
The MR system's role in the workflow for an exam is to acquire data and create images for analysis of the patient's condition. The operator needs to be able to start with the patient's requested procedure, execute the set of acquisitions and post-processing activities to fulfill that request and then transfer/export the resulting data.
