Example: Patient ID • Constraints on patient data received from the RIS: o Only empty fields can be adapted. o Height and weight attributes can be updated even if the field has been filled out in the RIS. • Please note: Patient data is only saved locally when it is updated on the MR scanner. If the patient data is used across modalities, change the patient data in the central information system (RIS). Then refresh the data on the scanner.
