Training new technologists with real scanners falls short at 3 critical points
With scanners running 15-20 patients daily, there's no time for hands-on training. New technologists wait for sparse practice opportunities, extending training to 6+ months.
With real patients on the table, technologists can't experiment or repeat scans. They need a psychologically safe environment to freely test parameters and build confidence.
Using clinical scanners for training means taking time away from patients. Educators must also be present during scans to supervise, stealing further time from patient care.
"Before Corsmed, there was a big gap between didactic and clinical. Once we implemented Corsmed, that gap was bridged.
Now students learn MRI concepts in a safe space before they enter the higher-stakes clinical setting."

We give you what clinical scanners can't; a dedicated training environment that eliminates every barrier between your technologists and confident practice.
Corsmed removes the scanner access bottleneck entirely. Technologists practice scanning anytime, on any laptop, without competing for clinical equipment or affecting a patient appointments.
"The unlimited practice has made our technologists much more confident in their scanning capabilities.
They understand why, how and which parameters are best to manipulate in order to improve the quality of their scans."
With real patients, technologist can't experiment, can't repeat scans, can't truly learn. Corsmed creates a risk-free learning environment.
Corsmed creates a risk-free learning environment. Students can try any parameters slice planning, create artifacts intentionally, and learn how to optimize images.
"When there's no patient involved, it creates psychological safety.
Technologists can freely test their technical knowledge and skills, and learn without the worry of affecting their patients."
Adjust TR and watch T1 weighting shift. Change bandwidth and see SNR respond. Modify turbo factor and observe the quality-time tradeoff.
"Our technologist felt it was very beneficial to have the simulator and see the effect changes to the parameters made in real time and while they were being taught.
They felt this was more representative of their job."
Create hands-on scan exercises that technologists complete at their own pace, and see exactly what parameters and slice planning they used.
Set up automatic grading, give personal feedback, and track their progress with detailed analytics.
"With the simulator, assessment is easier. Technologists can perform a scan whenever it suits them, and I can review their work later."
Create MRI protocols that match how your team actually scans.
With Corsmed, you can fully customize parameters, workflows, and use cases so training reflects your real clinical setup.
Start from our library of standard protocols, or build your own from scratch. Adapt every detail to fit your organization's needs.
"Now, our MRI radiographers gain the same level of competence in just 3-4 months instead of 6. The number of recalls – patients who must redo their scan – has dropped significantly."
When NHS University College London Hospitals and NHS Christie integrated Corsmed into their training programs, they saw measurable improvements in training speed, technologist confidence, and patient care.
Technologists reach full competence in 3-4 months instead of 6, through structured practice on the simulator
Technologists get triple the hands-on scanning experience without using a single minute of clinical scanner time
Better parameter understanding and troubleshooting skills reduce repeat scans and patient delays
Corsmed is not just a simulator. It's a complete training platform with all the features you need to teach and train MRI effectively: course creation, scan exercises, grading, progress tracking, user management and skill certificates.

Fully vendor-neutral. Corsmed teaches universal MRI principles that apply across all major manufacturers: Siemens, GE, Philips, Canon, and others. Students learn MRI physics and concepts, not button positions on a specific console. This is especially useful if you operate scanners from multiple vendors.
Noyal Mathew, MRI Practice educator at University College London Hospitals NHS, especially applauded the vendor-neutral design of Corsmed:
"It's very important that the MRI simulator has a vendor-neutral design. Especially for us at UCLH, where we have many different scanners.
The vendor neutral interface also helps when teaching. I can focus on explaining how the physics work, rather than the placements of buttons.”

You set a scan task. Students then complete it on the simulator and submit their images as the answer. When they submit, you see not just the resulting image stack, but every parameter and slice position they used to produce it.
Grading can be automatic or manual.
With auto-grading, you perform a reference scan on the simulator yourself. That image becomes the benchmark. Corsmed then automatically compares each student's submission against it and assigns points based on how close they got. A near-perfect result earns full marks. Students get instant feedback without you reviewing every scan individually.
Example of a reference image on an auto-graded scan exercise:

When using auto-grading, you can also specify how the platform should assess students' scans:
Corsmed's auto-grading functionality:
With manual grading, you review each submission yourself and write feedback directly on it, noting exactly what the student got right and what to correct. Students see your annotations alongside their scan.
No, setup is extremely simple. Corsmed works on any computer with an internet connection. There's no software to install, no special hardware to buy, and no IT configuration required. Users just log in and access it through a web browser.
NHS UCLH found that a 1-hour introduction is enough for radiographers to begin practicing independently.
"It's straightforward: press 'Scan' and it scans. Click 'Add protocol' and it adds a protocol.
A 1-hour introduction enables our learners to explore independently. There are good video guides within the 'Help' page too."

Even non-technical users learn to use Corsmed very quickly.
"One of our students wasn't very tech-savvy. She needed IT support just to upload her coursework. But she mastered Corsmed, which shows how user-friendly the simulator is."

MRI Program Director, CNI College
The analytics dashboard gives you a live view of your whole cohort. Module completion, time spent on the simulator, scan count, and grades for every student are visible at a glance.
You can drill into any individual to see exactly where they are in the curriculum and which exercises they've completed. In a self-paced program, this lets you catch who is falling behind before it becomes a problem.

Give students freedom to experiment without patient pressure or scanner time limits. They can practice any anatomy or pathology 24/7 until they master it. They learn by trying, failing, and understanding.
