Abstract
The present invention, in one form, is an imaging system which includes a verification system for verifying the proper connection of an interconnection cable. In accordance with one embodiment of the verification system, a verification circuit verifies operation of the interconnection cable by altering the patterns supplied from an EKG subsystem. More specifically, the conduction of interconnection cable is verified prior to, during and after scanning the patient by transmitting patterns received from the EKG subsystem through the verification circuit back to the EKG subsystem. If the patterns match the expected patterns, a verification signal is generated indicating proper cable connection.
