Title (German)

Magnetresonanzgeräte für die medizinische Bildgebung - Teil 2: Klassifizierungskriterien für Pulssequenzen (IEC 62464-2:2010); Deutsche Fassung EN 62464-2:2011

Overview

Presently the manufacturers of MR equipment use names for pulse sequences which are adopted from the literature (for example, spin-echo) or are defined by the manufacturer (for example, FISP: Fast Imaging with Steady State Precession). In the absence of a classification standard for pulse sequences the manufacturer-specific terminology complicates comparison of pulse sequences. The DICOM standard allows the inclusion of pulse sequence information with digital magnetic resonance (MR) images. This information helps with the interpretation of images. However, the DICOM standard allows manufacturer specific terminology. This standard specifies a concise manufacturer-independent classification scheme for MR imaging pulse sequences. This classification scheme is intended to name pulse sequences used in practice.
