Abstract
Techniques are provided for controlling a ramping process of a superconducting magnet of a magnetic resonance imaging device comprising the steps of: acquiring an information indicating a status of a cryocooler configured for cooling of the superconducting magnet via an interface, acquiring an information on a parameter of the superconducting magnet via an interface, determining an operational status of the magnetic resonance imaging device in dependence of the information indicating the status of the cryocooler and/or the information on the parameter of the superconducting magnet via a processing unit and providing a control signal via a control unit, wherein the control signal is configured to control the ramping process of the superconducting magnet. The disclosure also relates to a magnetic resonance imaging system comprising a control unit configured to provide a control signal for controlling the ramping process of the superconducting magnet.
