Sequence Planning Shortcuts

Learn the time-saving slice planning shortcuts you can access by right-clicking inside a viewport in the Corsmed MRI Simulator.

Shortcuts overview

The Corsmed MRI Simulator provides several time-saving planning shortcuts that can be accessed by right-clicking directly on an image within any viewport.

These tools are designed to streamline slice planning and improve efficiency, especially when working with multi-planar or multi-phase sequences.

All shortcuts apply only to the currently opened sequence and can be used independently in each viewport.

Open the viewport shortcut menu

  1. Open the sequence you want to plan.
  2. Click a viewport to make it active.
  3. Right-click inside the viewport to open the shortcut menu.
  4. Select the shortcut you want to use.

Viewport shortcuts

In-plane position

Sets the orientation of the currently opened sequence to match the imaging plane displayed in the viewport.

Use it when: you want to quickly align a sequence to an already well-positioned reference image.

Perpendicular position

Reorients the slice plane so that it becomes perpendicular to the plane displayed in the viewport.

Use it when: you want fast orthogonal planning (e.g. using this option on an axial image, it will set a coronal plane orientation) without manual repositioning.

Copy image position

Copies the exact position and orientation of the single slice currently displayed in the viewport.

Use it when: you working with cardiac MRI, where precise slice-to-slice matching across different sequences or contrasts is required.

Switch FE / PE

Quickly swaps the Frequency Encoding (FE) and Phase Encoding (PE) directions.

  • The Phase Encoding direction is always indicated by a yellow arrow on the viewport.

When to use: you want to reposition potential foldover artifacts or optimize artifact direction without reopening geometry settings.

  • This can also be changed in the Geometry tab or by rotating the slice directly.

Start / stop auto-play

Starts or stops cine (auto-play) mode, allowing sequential images to play automatically.

When to use: for multi-phase sequences, such as cardiac cine imaging, to visualize motion and temporal dynamics.

Conclusion

You've learned how to use the viewport right-click shortcuts to plan slices faster.
