A method for determining a quality rating data (QRD) of a medical data acquisition system (MDAS) includes receiving first data which includes utilization errors by an MDAS that occurred while performing a data acquisition procedure (DAP), by a data acquisition component of the MDAS, to acquire medical data. The method also includes generating second data as a function of the first data, the second data being indicative of categories of the utilization errors, wherein at least one utilization error is assigned to a corresponding category based on a predetermined parameter. The method further includes determining the quality rating data as a function of a total number of MDAS utilizations, a corresponding coefficient for the corresponding utilization error category and a number of utilization errors in the corresponding error category.

Method and arrangement for determining a quality rating data for a medical data acquisition system

The invention provides for medical instrument comprising a magnetic resonance imaging system. Execution of the instruction cause a processor controlling the instrument to: execute a magnetic resonance data processing application thereby providing a plug-in framework, execute a protocol definition interface to load a first selection of the plug-ins into the plug-in framework, acquire the magnetic resonance data by using the pulse sequence data to control the magnetic resonance imaging system; and reconstruct a magnetic resonance image from the magnetic resonance data using the first selection of the plug-ins.
