The Philips MRI system has a central scan control computer with a real-time operating system. The scan control computer controls four subsystems via individual optical link which are: Transmit chain link, Receive Chain link, Gradient Chain link and Reconstructor Link. In case errors occur, the Digital Network Traffic Analyzer is helping to diagnose the problem.
