Peripheral test protocols

There are suggested peripheral test protocols that can be used by manufacturers of peripheral equipment to test the functionality of the peripheral equipment in the fields produced by your MR system. The protocols are designed to run the MR scanner with high transmit RF field or high gradient slew rates and amplitudes so that the manufacturer of peripheral equipment can investigate the influence of the MR scanner on its peripheral equipment. The tests are not intended for estimation of the possible effect of the peripheral equipment on the resulting image quality of the MR scanner and are no guarantee that the peripheral equipment will function properly.
