Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) simulator for evaluating an MRI device comprises sections for being selectively coupled to the corresponding portions of the MRI device. Data representative of a previously imaged object is provided to the portions of the MRI device, for processing. The results of the processing are evaluated to determine whether portions of the MRI device are operating properly. Methods of evaluating an MRI device and an MRI device incorporating such a simulator are also disclosed.
