We are introducing a new slice prescription interface in the Corsmed MRI simulator. This new slice interface will come into effect for all Corsmed users on 17 December, 2024. However, you can already start using the new interface, read more below.
How the New Interface Fixes These Issues
- Slices Now Grow in Both Directions:
You can now add slices symmetrically from the center point. For example, if you start with the mid-sagittal slice of the brain, slices expand outward evenly to cover the whole anatomy without losing alignment. This keeps your plan accurate and reduces extra adjustments.
- Clear Slice Visualisation with a Box View:
The new "box view" highlights each slice's thickness and position within the anatomy. You can see how slices overlap with structures at a glance, without toggling or guessing. For example, when positioning slices over the brain's ventricles, you can instantly confirm coverage without additional steps.
- All Tools Stay on Screen:
No more lost handles! Rotation and positioning tools remain visible within the FOV, even for large or angled views. This makes fine adjustments straightforward, whether you're planning a large abdominal scan or aligning to complex brain landmarks.
How to Try the New Slice Interface
On 17 December, the new slice interface will be automatically enabled for everyone. If you want to try it earlier, it needs to be manually activated.
Follow these steps to activate the new interface:
- Go to your Profile page. Click on your profile bubble in the top-right corner, and the click on “View Profile”.
- Click on the "New Slice Interface" option to toggle it on.
- Restart your course or sequence to start using the updated tools.
