The example includes information about how to represent imaging device information in the event that the research requires this type of data.
The PR dataset shows the procedure of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging using the device associated with SPDEVID ABC001 and the PRREFID of 12345678. This information shows what CMR device is used for the procedure and the accession number or procedure reference identifier associated with the specific procedure for USUBJID 301. The SPDEVID variable is used to relate records by the device (in this case, the CMR machine). The Device Identifier (DI) dataset holds the device information details, the Device Properties (DO) dataset holds characteristics of the device that do not vary over the between subjects. The Device-In-Use (DU) dataset holds settings that are set on a device when it is used and may vary between participants.
