Corsmed

“Corsmed taught me more than any textbook. It’s one thing to read about the physics and imaging concepts. It’s another thing entirely when you experience them.”

“Having Corsmed helps students get the necessary training. Recent changes to HCPC standards now demand more MRI training. Corsmed has been really helpful to ensure students get the practice they need.”

“Corsmed is much more interesting than textbooks. Textbooks can be dry, but the simulator is interactive and gives you tasks to work through. You learn faster this way, and it’s much more fun too!”

“It's more like hands-on learning, which is how I learn best. Reading textbooks can be confusing, but once I do something, I understand it much better. With Corsmed, you can see that if you change one thing, the image changes in a certain way.”

“MRI physics is hard to understand from textbooks. With Corsmed’s MRI simulator, you can play with parameters and see how the image changes. Corsmed turns the textbook equations into images I can visualise. This really helped me understand concepts I had previously struggled with.”

“The big advantage with Corsmed is that the image changes as you adjust parameters. Other softwares let you change parameters, but the images don't update to match.”

“"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. Before graduating, she got an out-of-state job offer with a relocation bonus—even before passing her registry exam. That's real proof of how our practical training prepares students for the job market."”

“"One of our graduates was hired by a prestigious hospital that focuses solely on cardiac imaging. Most MRI centers don't perform these scans. But thanks to Corsmed, he was fully prepared."”

“"Our students know how to troubleshoot and remedy artifacts. This directly impacts image quality and ultimately patient diagnosis and treatment."”

“"The key difference with our students is their knowledge. They truly understand what they're doing. Many MRI techs see that their image has artifacts but don't know their cause or how to fix them. Our students do. We train them to be problem-solvers, not just button-pushers."”

“"Many times, due to circumstances, students aren't able to attend externship. With Corsmed, they can continue their learning without taking a leave of absence. This helps both the students and our institution."”

“"I always tell my students: ‘Use this chance. When you're doing a C-spine at your clinical site, go home and open Corsmed. Make your own protocol and practice.’ They may only see an MRCP scan once or twice during their clinical practice—but they can practice it with Corsmed a thousand times. That's a main differentiator for us."”

“"I tell my students, 'Mess up the images. Do the wrong scan. Let's see how you can create mistakes.' That's how you learn. Normally, it takes years in the field to see these mistakes, but with Corsmed, they experience it first hand."”

“"Corsmed gives our students rare exposure to cardiac MRI. Even working MRI techs only get to see cardiac scans maybe once a year. Most MRI scans, like lumbar spine, are also just static images. But cardiac? It's like watching a live movie! Students love seeing the heart's chambers contract in real-time."”

“"With Corsmed, students get hands-on practice before their externship. They arrive prepared, knowing what to expect. And their training doesn't stop there—when they get home, they can keep refining their skills because it's right there on their laptop."”

“"When our students began their externships, the imaging centers were amazed at how skilled they were.They had expected our students to do filing for weeks before scanning. But instead, they called us and said: 'We're hiring your students now—because they're ready to scan from day one.'"”

““The first time that I started using Corsmed, I was practicing at home. And suddenly my 10-year-old son came over and asked me: 'What's that, mom?' I said: 'That's a new software we're using for our MRI program.' He was immediately interested, and he has now gone on to become an MRI technologist as well. He loves, loves Corsmed!””

“"Corsmed is a great tool to see how a lot of different or maybe not as common things are to be scanned. At my site, there was just a list of routine scans with no deviation. But with Corsmed, you can see long bones, chest, abdomen—scans that aren't super common in many clinical settings."”

“"Corsmed gives you a really good understanding of what to expect. As somebody who had never been exposed to MRI, the moment you open Corsmed, you see all the anatomies right on your laptop. It helps you feel confident before starting your externship. You’ve already seen how the scanner interface works and what real MRI protocols look like."”

“"For me, seeing different anatomies in the scan was awesome. I had never seen a shoulder scan, which we saw a lot on Corsmed. That was very helpful because when I went to my externship, I was already familiar with how it looks."”

“"I really enjoyed adding pathology to the images, which was fun to see early on before externship. When you constantly see perfect anatomy, you don't really know what pathology looks like. Adding pathology through Corsmed was very helpful."”

“"When we were first reading our textbooks, before we ever touched an MRI machine, it was very nerve-wracking. How are we going to see these different planes of the body? And how will we apply the physics from the textbooks to the MRI machine? But once we went into term three and got to use Corsmed, it was like a beacon of light! We could actually play around with parameters and see how the body will appear on the console. It was very helpful preparation for our externships."”

“"When teaching MRI physics, I don’t have to rely on imaginary scenarios. I can show students the exact result when they apply quantum physics concepts in a medical practice. This visualization is the main part of Corsmed that helps me teach physics."”

“"Before Corsmed, one of our biggest challenges was teaching MRI physics. Students just heard about abstract concepts like TR and TE but couldn't feel what these parameters do. With Corsmed, we solved this problem. Now they can actually see and feel the effects."”

“"Corsmed's simulator actually changes the image correctly when you change the parameters. That got my attention."”
