During an MRI scan, imaging data is generated and then transmitted to the imaging software of the system. To ensure data processing runs properly, all plugs need to work, and all signals need to be recognized by the software. Therefore, a plug-test is part of each patient table production. Once the plugs have been checked for any defects, they are connected to the patient table and the software runs the testing program. A robotic arm helps the tester to reposition the plugs again and again, until the program gives a green light to all sequences.
