2. Click Start simulator.

Get started with scout sequences

1. Click in Pulse Sequence List to add scout sequences.
2. Use the three available scout sequences:
   • TRA: Transverse / Axial
   • SAG: Sagittal
   • COR: Coronal
3. Click Run all to run the scout sequences.
4. When they finish, drag each image icon into a viewport to display the results.

Browse available pulse sequences

1. Click Add Pulse Sequence at the top of the Pulse Sequence List.
2. Explore pulse sequences using the available tabs:
   1. Standard Sequences
   2. Standard Protocols
   3. Personal Library
   4. Course Specific Library
   5. Module Specific Library

Add a pulse sequence to your scan

1. Click the pulse sequence you want to use.
2. Click Add next to the sequence description.
3. Review the confirmation pop-up that the sequence was added successfully.
4. Add more pulse sequences if you want.
5. Click the X in the top-right corner to close the panel when you’re done.

Adjust pulse sequence parameters

1. Double-click a pulse sequence in the Pulse Sequence List to open it.
2. Use the Parameter Tabs to adjust the parameters you want in any of the five tabs:
   • Geometry
   • Sequence
   • Special
   • Reconstruction
   • Advanced
3. Watch the Blue Indicator Box in the Parameter Tabs to see how changes affect the workflow and resulting MR image.
4. Click Save in the top-right corner of the Parameter Tabs.
5. Click Run this pulse to start the scan.
6. Track progress using the progress bar shown in the Pulse Sequence List.

Analyze your MR images

1. Change the name of your MR image to reflect the pulse sequence and parameters used.
2. Drag the MR image icon into a viewport.
3. Review and analyze your results.

Conclusion

You've learned how to complete a scan in the Corsmed MRI Simulator, from entering the simulator to running sequences and analyzing your MR images.
