Corsmed virtual MR scanner

For a reliable substitute of a true MRI scanner for current and future medical professionals to practice MRI scanning, Corsmed has developed an advanced virtual MR scanner. Please consider using the virtual MR scanner provided by Corsmed at https://corsmed.com/mri-simulator.

Motion models

MRISIMUL utilizes three different motion models: respiratory motion, heart motion and blood flow. For simulating heart motion, a mathematical model of myocardial deformation was applied on a cylinder and spatial modulation of magnetization (1-1 SPAMM)* was introduced upon detection of the R-wave in a CINE pulse sequence with 100 phases and 1 vps (views per segment). The result of this simulation is shown in the following video:

*SPAMM RF pulses: 45 degrees, three-lobe sinc pulse, 3msec duration
FOV: 360mm x 270mm
kspace: 256 x 256
