IDEA Upgrade Virtual Classroom

Description :  MR IDEA Upgrade Virtual Instructor Led (VILT) describes the differences when migrating from the IDEA software version VB17 to VE11.  This VILT is intended for participants that have already attended both VB17 IDEA courses (“IDEA Sequence Programming” and “IDEA Image Calculation Programming”) and are planning to transfer research sequences or Image Calculation Environment (ICE) programs to VE11 software.  Changes to the IDEA environment for compilation, simulation, pulse sequences, and ICE program source codes necessary for compatibility with the VE11 MR MAGNETOM systems. 

Key Topics

IDEA platform changes
  • Changes in the compilation process for sequences and ICE programs
  • Source code changes for sequences and ICE programs
  • Graphical ICE program configurator
  • Simulate sequences and ICE program with new framework 
  • Upon completion of this course the learner should be able to:
  • Explain the major changes in the IDEA platform
  • Explain the changes in the compilation process for sequences and ICE programs
  • Explain the source code changes for the sequences
  • Explain the source code changes for ICE programs 
Audience: Intended for site scientists and/or physicians currently using the IDEA and ICE programming migrating from VB17 to VE11 software on the MAGNETOM MR Systems.  
Prerequisites: Knowledge of sequence and ICE programming on the VB17 platform is strongly recommended.

The following hardware and software are required for this VILT.
PC or laptop with VE11 IDEA installed
Windows 7 - required operating software
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 must be installed
IDEA –specific installation instructions are available on request
