Help to identify
It looks like it may be be a capacitor or some kind. Siemens uses a lot of internal parts that don't match or compare to GE or Philips and most of their caps are there's and you might want to try looking in: alibaba for china/japan makers. If you can remove the other one and attach it to a capacitor reader or bench analyzer might help also. A digital multimeter would rule out resistor or diode.

Siemens CINE Sequence details
Hello there fellow NMR enthusiasts, I have a question regarding the CINE-Sequence that a Siemens 3 T scanner does, in particular I am interested in the retro iPAT sequence. What I want to know is what the exact parameters are.
For example, I have set a TR of 2.7 ms, but the actual recording time of one scan is close to 300 ms. Why is that? What else gets added to this time?
If anyone has links to useful information about sequences, then I am more than happy to check them out.
Regards, Glad

6-1.5T MAGNETS, DIFFERING GRADIENTS
Thank you for your logical advice. Just spoke with GE apps. "No amount of messing with MR parameters can compensate for weak gradients. Increased gradient strength=decreased echo spacing=less blurring". Coincidently, my DO just emailed me asking what the gradient strength is on the magnet the RADs are complaining about.Just MAYBE they'll upgrade it. I need to visit our sites.The only way I have to check other sites' parameters is importing exams from PACS to my modality console. Tedious, but telling. Again, thankyou for all the help.

Slew rate, rise time and/or duty cycle are specific parameters to describe the performance of the gradient amplifier. Amplifiers with higher performance allow a faster slew rate (shorter rise time). Stronger gradients allow to reduce echo time, increase the bandwidth and/or use a smaller FOV by influencing the SNR. To use same parameters on magnets with different gradient performance may not be recommended, or you have to adjust all parameters to the level of your magnet with the poorest performance.

Thank you for your response. Our group is strict about FOV, thickness/gap parameters being the same across all magnets. One magnet has slew rate of 77, FRFSE T2, TE 85,TR 3500 Classic Fat supressed images which are pristine, vs magnets of 120 slew rate same parameters look signal starved. So gradient strength makes a speed difference, not an image quality difference?
