Question 1

What body parts can Corsmed's MRI simulator scan?

Accepted Answer

Corsmed covers the full range of clinical anatomies. This includes all regions of the head and neck (brain, pituitary gland, orbits, IAC/IAM, Circle of Willis), the full spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal), chest (cardiac, lungs, breasts, mediastinum), abdomen (liver, pancreas, kidneys, gallbladder, spleen), pelvis (prostate, uterus, ovaries, bladder, rectum), upper and lower extremities, and the vascular system. You can plan slices in any position and angulation for every body region.

Question 2

What pulse sequences does Corsmed's simulator support?

Accepted Answer

Corsmed supports 29 pulse sequences across both 2D and 3D imaging. 2D sequences include Spin Echo, Turbo Spin Echo, Gradient Echo, FLAIR, STIR, CINE (SSFP), DWI, SWI, Dixon, Late Gadolinium Enhancement, Perfusion imaging, TI Scout, and more. 3D sequences include MP-RAGE, 3D TSE, 3D GRE, 3D bSSFP, 3D Time of Flight, and 3D Double Inversion Recovery TSE. Together, these cover the full range of sequences used in clinical MRI practice.

Question 3

What scanner hardware settings can I adjust on Corsmed's simulator?

Accepted Answer

You can choose from 6 field strengths (0.25T, 0.31T, 0.4T, 0.55T, 1.5T, and 3T), 4 maximum gradient strengths (33–80 mT/m), and 17 coil configurations covering every anatomical region. You can also toggle noise levels, physiological motion, chemical shift, susceptibility, and T2* on or off. This range of hardware settings lets you practice across the scanner configurations you will encounter in real clinical environments.

Question 4

What sequence parameters can I adjust on Corsmed's simulator?

Accepted Answer

Corsmed gives you control over more than 30 sequence parameters. These include TE (7–200ms), TR (6–20,000ms), flip angle (1–180°), inversion time, turbo factor, parallel imaging (SENSE and GRAPPA), fat suppression, partial Fourier, bandwidth, NEX, encoding order, slice thickness, FOV, matrix size, foldover direction, and more. Every parameter that affects the image on a real scanner is adjustable — and every adjustment is reflected in the resulting image.

Question 5

How many different MRI protocols can Corsmed simulate?

Accepted Answer

Corsmed can simulate more than 10⁵⁰ unique MRI protocols. That is 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 — more protocols than the total number of atoms on planet Earth. This comes from combining all available body parts, pulse sequences, field strengths, coils, and adjustable parameters. Students can practice the full range of clinical scenarios they will face in real practice, not just the most common routine scans.
