The example includes information about how to represent imaging device information in the event that the research requires this type of data. When the requirements of the study data include the CMR device manufacturer, software and version information, and the specific settings for each subject, how to model this type of information is included in this example. The requirements of the study determine what data is needed. This examples shows how to do it, if it is desired.
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 subject 301. The SPDEVID variable is used to relate records by the device (in this case, the CMR machine). The Device Identifier (DI) domain represents the device information details, the Device Properties (DO) domain represents characteristics of the device that do not vary between subjects. The Device-In-Use (DU) domain represents settings that are set on a device when it is used and may vary between participants.
