| Issue: | The Gradient Chain in the MR system produces the desired magnetic field in three-dimensional space required for creating images. Due to small mechanical imperfections, high resistance can occur in parts of this chain (for example, at the internal busbar terminals or connections), resulting in localized high currents. This high resistance may act as a heat source, which can lead to internal damage, causing downtime of the MR system. The Ingenia Elition MR system is indicated for use as a diagnostic device that can produce cross-sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra in any orientation of the internal structure of the head, body, or extremities. |
