Will Corsmed Help Me Learn How to Use the Simulator?

Yes. Corsmed offers 4 learning and support resources to help you master how to use the MRI simulator.

1. A Personal Onboarding Meeting – and Additional Support Calls Whenever You Need

To help you get started with Corsmed, you will get a personal onboarding meeting with one of our expert support representatives over Zoom.

During the onboarding meeting, we will:

1. Listen to what your specific needs are, and what you want to achieve by using Corsmed.
2. Walk you through how to use Corsmed – both the MRI simulator and the course platform – to achieve your needs.

The onboarding meeting will center on your specific needs. If performing advanced cardiac scans is most important to you, we will focus on that. If you instead are teaching an MRI class – and you most want to create custom courses with scan assignments – we will focus on that.

You can always request more support calls with us, at no extra charge!

3. MRI Courses

Corsmed also provides 11 courses, each consisting of multiple modules, that will help you learn how to use the MRI simulator.

The first course – 01. Introduction to Corsmed – covers the basics of navigating the simulator and how to perform a scan.

The other courses – 02-11 – each focus on a specific subset of scanner settings, and how changing those scanner settings affect the resulting image. This approach will simplify your learning by focusing on one small part of the simulator at a time.

The topics covered in these courses are:

• 02. Instrumentation (Magnetic Field Strength & Coils)
• 03. Sequences
• 04. Image Optimisation – Part 1
• 05. Image Optimisation – Part 2
• 06. Artifacts
• 07. Clinical Applications – Neuro
• 08. Clinical Applications – Spine and Neck
• 09. Clinical Applications – Musculoskeletal MSK
• 10. Clinical Applications – Body (Abdomen, Pelvis, Breast & Thorax)
• 11. Clinical Applications – Cardiac MR

Each course follows a “learn by experimenting” approach. You will run multiple MRI scans on the simulator and change one setting at a time, and then observe how that change affected the resulting image.

All steps in these courses are also illustrated with clear instructions and images of the simulator interface. So you will be able to follow along and learn every part of the simulator easily.
