Discussion on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Failure Analysis Methods

Abstract:

Magnetic resonance imaging, as the large imaging equipment the most intensively oriented at science and technology, owns a high utilization rate in hospitals. However, there is a certain failure rate no matter how precise the equipment is. In a huge system consisting of many components, it is possible for all its components to suffer a failure risk. How to locate and remove the failure as soon as possible is the key of the introduction in this paper. Methods: To find the failures, a good theoretical foundation should be available first, which is classified by the author into five aspects. These aspects will be introduced in a planned way in this paper. Conclusion: As long as a good theoretical foundation has been known well and the problems are analyzed carefully, all difficulties can be solved no matter how advanced the equipment.
