The MRI simulator that actually builds real clinical skills

Yes, and we're the only simulator that does. Most simulators use image libraries: you change a parameter, the image stays the same. Corsmed generates images the same way real scanners do, so every parameter change produces the correct visual effect.

That means students learn real cause-and-effect relationships, not button sequences. What they practice on Corsmed is what they'll see in a real clinic.

Yes. Many users start with zero MRI experience: students before clinicals, radiographers transitioning from CT/X-ray, or career changers entering the field.

Our MRI Training Bundle includes foundational courses that build your knowledge from the ground up.

Yes. That's the entire purpose of Corsmed – to give you the hands-on practice you can't get elsewhere. You'll repeat scans until you understand them, experiment with parameters safely, and practice procedures you've never seen clinically.

The confidence comes from repetition without risk. As one user put it:

The simulator shows you immediately if your scan works. You see the resulting image quality, contrast, resolution, SAR levels, and scan time as soon as you run the sequence.

What counts as "correct" scan depends on the clinical situation: a T1-weighted brain scan requires different settings than a cardiac cine.

To know if you're scanning correctly, we provide scanning exercises with instant auto-graded feedback. Our course material includes many scan exercises where you're tasked to perform specific types of scans. The auto-grading gives you clear feedback on whether you've achieved the clinical objective, and if not, how you can improve your scan.

For individuals, our MRI bundle includes Doug Boyd's textbook Boyd's Comprehensive Guide to MRI, which also contains reference images showing what correct scans should look like for different protocols.

For organizations, we provide pre-built courses you can deploy immediately. You can also build custom courses and create your own scan assignments tailored to your curriculum. You can create your own scan exercises, or use those the Corsmed team has built.

No. Corsmed provides training and certificates of completion, but not official registry certification from regulatory bodies like ARRT, ARMRIT, HCPC, or CAMRT.

However, for U.S. and Canada users, ARMRIT allows you to complete 250 of your required 1,000 clinical hours on Corsmed's simulator.

Yes. The simulator includes a wide range of anatomical models and lets you practice different pulse sequences, orientations, and protocols, just as you would rotate through different exam types in a clinical setting.

You can see a full list of all anatomies, sequences and settings that are available on the Corsmed MRI simulator here: Corsmed MRI Simulator – The complete list of settings

Yes. The simulator fully supports chest and cardiac MRI, including:

1. Cine imaging
2. Myocardial infarction (MI) pathology
3. ECG-gating
4. Control over the patient's heart rate and cardiac phase
5. Playback of the cardiac phase and seeing the heart beating

When you subscribe to the simulator, you also get free access to our Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance program. This program consists of our four courses that dive into cardiac MRI:

1. Foundations of CMR (4 learning modules)
2. Cardiac Morphology and Global Function (5 learning modules)
3. Tissue Characterisation (4 learning modules)
4. Blood Flow and Phase Contrast (2 learning modules)

Our MRI Bundle also includes a full cardiac & chest clinical applications course. This is one of the most requested specializations and is included at no extra cost in the bundle.

Yes. The simulator includes dynamic scanning and bolus injection tools. You can perform simulated scans with contrast injections, adjust the amount and timing of the contrast, and also the weight of the patient.

We also have a special bolus injection timing tool, where you can practice injection timing without real-life pressure.

Corsmed offers a single vendor-neutral interface. This helps you focus on learning the universal MRI principles that apply across all manufacturers, rather than where buttons happen to be located on a specific brand.

Mastery of the fundamentals is what employers most look for when hiring:

"As an MRI educator, I appreciate Corsmed’s vendor-neutral design.

Learners stop focusing on button labels and start grasping the core MRI concepts. That shift has made them far more skilled on every scanner they touch."

Corsmed is more accurate and comprehensive. We're built on actual MRI physics equations, not approximations.

When you change inputs on ScanLabMR, you rarely get the same exact image as you'd have gotten on a real scanner.

When you change any input on Corsmed (sequence, parameter, hardware, patient, anatomy, motion, pathology, positioning, or slice angling), you get exactly what you'd see on a real scanner. You see all the effects, including contrast, resolution, SNR, scan time, SAR, CNR, and artifacts.

Artifact management is an especially important part of mastering MRI scanning, and something only Corsmed can simulate accurately. Use wrong slice planning or parameters on Corsmed, and you'll see artifacts just like a real scanner would, including:

And many more.

With Corsmed, you can trust that you learn real scanning skills.
What you see on the simulator is what you'll see in a real clinic with a real scanner.

Many organizations have switched from ScanLabMR to Corsmed for this reason, including Forsyth Technical Community College and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

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."

Dr. Mahmud Khokhar

MRI Program Director, CNI College

Any laptop 7-10 years old or newer works. The simulator runs in your web browser. You don't need to download or install any software.

A rule of thumb: if your computer can visit the web and email, it's enough to run Corsmed. It can be used on a tablet, but it's not practical on mobile, as the simulator interface requires a larger screen size.

You'll need 1 Mbit/s internet speed (down/up).

Yes. You can sign up and try the MRI simulator for free here:

You get full support. Every account includes access to our support team, built-in help resources, workflow videos, and guides. You will not have to figure things out on your own.
