𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗦 𝗗𝗮𝘆.

For Multiple Sclerosis, MR imaging is the gold standard tool for diagnosis and monitoring. Detecting the subtle lesions in the brain and spinal cord early can completely change a patient's treatment trajectory.

Nearly 𝟯 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 people worldwide live with MS. Getting their MRI scans right requires flawless technique and a deep understanding of sequences like FLAIR and contrast-enhanced T1.

At Corsmed, we’re proud to play a role behind the scenes. Our 𝗠𝗥𝗜 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 trains the professionals who run those critical, complex scans. When a patient enters the bore, the operator is ready to perform with total confidence.

In this 25-minute session, Enrique Martínez from Corsmed shows how the Corsmed MRI Simulator can support more practical, safe, and hands-on MRI training.

The webinar covers how simulation can help learners:
• See how parameter choices affect image quality
• Visualize SAR and B1+rms
• Practice MRI protocols without patient risk
• Build confidence before working in a real scanner environment
• Support safer decision-making in MRI education and clinical training

Attendees of MRI Safety Matters® events this year – Emanuel Kanal’s 6th European MRMD/MRSO course or the 2026 MRI Safety Update & Innovations Day – are also eligible for 40 hours of free premium access to the Corsmed MRI Simulator.

Wrap-around, also called aliasing or foldover, is one of the most common MRI artifacts.

In this video, we show exactly how it appears, why it happens, and the best way to fix it.

💡 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼:
1. Identify wrap-around artifacts in real MRI images.
2. Adjust field of view and foldover suppression to eliminate aliasing.
3. Balance scan time, SNR, and image quality when using suppression techniques.

It marks the birthday of James Parkinson, who first described the condition in 1817.

Over 𝟭𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲 live with Parkinson's disease today.

MRI plays a key role in diagnosis by ruling out other conditions and helping researchers study brain changes. Advanced techniques like diffusion tensor imaging are pushing detection boundaries.

At Corsmed, our 𝗠𝗥𝗜 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 helps train the professionals who scan Parkinson's patients with confidence.

Here's to James Parkinson's legacy and everyone advancing neurological care! 🌷

EASY tutorial for beginners, students, and professional MRI technologists and radiographers.

💡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀?
Concatenations solve a key limitation in MRI: we cannot acquire all slices within a single repetition time (TR).

So we split slices into groups.
Each group is acquired in separate TR cycles.

This parameter directly affects scan time, efficiency, and feasibility of your protocol.

In this tutorial, you will clearly understand how concatenations work, how scanners calculate them, and how they impact your final acquisition time.

⏱️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:

- Why multi-slice acquisitions require concatenations
- How slice grouping works across TR intervals
- The relationship between concatenations and scan time
- Why increasing concatenations increases total scan time
- The full scan time equation including concatenations
- How scanners automatically calculate optimal concatenations
- How to manually adjust concatenations for clinical needs
- How to calculate slices per TR using TR, turbo factor, and echo spacing
- Real example: 27-slice brain acquisition requiring 2 concatenations
- How increasing TR (e.g., 800 ms at 3T) reduces concatenations
- How reducing concatenations cuts scan time from 1:04 to 51.2 seconds

🏥 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁:
Understanding concatenations helps you balance scan time and image quality.

For example, reducing concatenations from 2 to 1 in a brain TSE scan can cut scan time by over 20%, without changing slice coverage.

This is critical in busy clinical workflows where every second matters.

But remember:
Always optimize for image quality and contrast first.
Then optimize scan time.

He showed that by introducing magnetic field gradients, you could encode spatial information into an NMR signal and reconstruct a 2D image. The same principle that every MRI scanner in the world still uses today.

Nature had actually rejected the paper first. Lauterbur revised, resubmitted, and got it published. Editors later ranked it among the 21 most influential papers Nature published that century.

Today, over 100 million MRI scans are performed annually worldwide.

At Corsmed, our MRI simulator is built on this same physics that Lauterbur unlocked 52 years ago.

More than most programs realize.

They're all called "MRI simulators." But change a parameter on most of them, and the image stays exactly the same.

5 types of MRI simulators exist. But only one actually prepares students for real clinical work.

This guide clarifies the differences and helps you find the right fit. It covers all 5 simulator types, how each works, what each delivers, and how to decide which one you need.

Students learn physics in class. But real scanners are hard to access. So students mostly watch from the sidelines.

"𝘽𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙨, 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙨. 𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮." – Kayla Nguyen, MRI Student, BCIT

Online MRI simulation closes this gap.

Students practice anytime. They adjust parameters and see how the image changes in real-time.

2 hours on a real scanner: 8–10 sequences.
2 hours on a simulator: 30–50 sequences.

👇 This article shows how simulation transforms MRI training, with real results from BCIT, CNI College, University of Cumbria, and NAIT.

Discover how MRI simulation bridges the theory–practice gap, delivers 3–10× more training time, and builds students confidence for clinical practice.
