A free tier of the Corsmed MRI simulator, starting now

Clinical-grade MRI training just became accessible to everyone

MRI is one of the greatest advances in medicine. It gave doctors a way to see inside the body without radiation, without surgery, without harm.

But learning to operate an MRI scanner has always been hard. Scanners run on tight schedules, almost always reserved for patients. Students get what's left over, which is rarely enough.

Ten years ago, we built the solution: the first MRI simulator that works exactly like a real scanner. Change a parameter, the image updates as it would on real equipment.

Today, we're taking the next step.

A core version of the Corsmed simulator is now available for free.

What's free

The free tier gives you full access to two anatomies and eight sequences. No credit card, sales call, or expiry date.

2 anatomies:

  1. Head (brain)
  2. Knee

8 pulse sequences:

  1. Turbo Spin Echo (TSE)
  2. Spin Echo (SE)
  3. Gradient Echo (GRE)
  4. FLAIR
  5. IR Spin-Echo
  6. IR-TSE
  7. Single-Shot Fast Spin Echo (SS-FSE)
  8. MP-RAGE

Head and knee are among the most scanned anatomies in clinical MRI. These eight sequences are the foundation of MRI competence.

Within these anatomies and sequences, the simulator runs at full fidelity. You get the same simulation engine, and the same image accuracy, as the paid platform.

Why we're doing this

Corsmed was built on a single conviction: that the way MRI professionals are trained is broken, and that simulation can fix it.

The core problem has always been access. Learning MRI takes hands-on training, but real scanners are expensive, scarce, and booked solid with patients, so trainees rarely get enough time on them.

The Corsmed MRI simulator solves that problem: change a parameter, and it produces exactly the image effect it would on real equipment. It's just like having a personal MRI scanner on your laptop, available online 24/7.

Corsmed is live with organizations of all kinds across the entire world. Now that reach extends further. A student can get access even if their classroom has not yet adopted Corsmed. A technologist can practice even before their hospital signs a contract.

This free version of the Corsmed MRI simulator is our most direct step to making clinical-grade MRI training accessible to all who need it. We want the gap between classroom theory and clinical confidence to close, for everyone.

What upgrading unlocks

The full Corsmed platform adds:

  • 60+ anatomies: Full body coverage, from cardiac, spine and shoulder, to abdomen, pelvis and ankle with metal implants
  • 30+ sequences: Advanced 2D and 3D sequences including cardiac CINE, DWI, SWI, LGE, and more
  • Pathology simulation: MS, tumors, and myocardial infarction
  • Patient settings: Motion, breathing mode, cardiac triggering, contrast injection
  • Scanner settings: Field strength (0.25T–3T), gradient strength, 17 coil configurations
  • Advanced simulation: Noise, chemical shift, susceptibility, T2*
  • LMS integration: Assignment tracking, reporting, multi-student management

The free tier is a real starting point. The full platform is where clinical-level training lives.

Institutions around the world – including UCLH NHS, British Columbia Institute of Technology, and Teesside University – use the full platform to train their MRI students and staff.

Logos arranged in two rows: City St George’s University of London; NHS; Indiana University; University of Cumbria; British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT); Lund University; CNI College; and Teesside University.

What the people using Corsmed say

The institutions already using Corsmed have been direct about what it does for their learners.

“

"Our MRI radiographers now gain the same level of competence in just 3–4 months, instead of 6. We would not have achieved the same results without Corsmed."

“

"Corsmed bridges the gap between classroom learning and clinical practice. It has 100% helped us ensure our students have the skills to succeed in the real world. It's our obvious tool of choice for MRI training."

“

"Before Corsmed, our biggest challenge was teaching MRI physics. Students couldn't grasp abstract concepts like TR and TE. With Corsmed, we closed this gap between classroom theory and clinical practice."

Students also report that their MRI learning was transformed by the Corsmed MRI simulator:

“

"Soon after I started my university MRI program, I was unsure if I would make it. The physics were so hard! But when I could play with concepts on the simulator and see the resulting image, it finally clicked. Corsmed helped me feel prepared to start my career."

“

"When you study MRI through textbooks, you can only get so much from it. Practicing on Corsmed gave me something to visualize. It really helped me understand how to plan slices, place saturation bands, and adjust the parameters to get a good image every time."

For institutions

If you run an MRI training program, the free tier gives you and your students a way to experience the simulator before any institutional decision is made.

Your students can sign up today, individually, at no cost. No IT approval. No budget required. You can try it yourself in under five minutes.
