Magnetic Resonance Control Command Optimization and Validation

The patent applies preliminary action by performing a unit test before executing the optimized magnetic resonance sequence. The control command conversion unit generates optimized control commands, and the testing unit validates these commands against the original sequence parameters before actual execution. This preliminary validation ensures that optimizations do not introduce errors, thereby maintaining reliability while achieving improved image data quality.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the control command management into distinct functional units: a control command generation unit that creates optimized commands, and a separate testing unit that validates them. This segmentation allows the system to implement optimization without overwhelming complexity, as each unit has a specific responsibility. The testing unit checks converted commands against original parameters, ensuring productivity gains while managing complexity through modular design.

The patent applies copying by creating a test version of the control commands that mirrors the original sequence parameters. The testing unit generates converted control commands as copies of the original commands, then compares these copies against the originals to validate correctness. This copying approach enables efficient validation without requiring complete re-execution of the sequence, minimizing time loss while ensuring reliability.
