Zlado Scan is a virtual MRI console that runs on your own laptop. Plan slices on localizers, set TR, TE, flip angle and matrix like a real Siemens or GE console — and get an image that is computed from the physics, not pulled from a folder of pictures.
No card needed · Brain routine protocol included · a fixed number of scans, counted on screen
Change any parameter — TE, TR, slice thickness, flip angle, bandwidth — and the image changes the way physics says it must. Wrong choices look wrong.
Runs in the browser with an individual login. Practise at midnight, repeat a sequence twenty times, break nothing.
Localizer, MPRAGE, DWI, SWI, T2, FLAIR, T1 and a coronal — defined by MRI faculty who teach it every week at Zlado.
We copied the workflow, not just the look. If you can run an exam in Zlado Scan, the console in the department will feel familiar.
Start from Brain routine or build your own from a library of sequences — each with its Siemens, GE and Philips names.
Drag the yellow slice group across sagittal and coronal views. Slices, thickness and gap update the coverage as you go.
Routine · Contrast · Resolution · Geometry — the Siemens card layout. Scan time, voxel size, SNR and SAR update while you type.
Watch k-space fill line by line, then window the image, step through slices and compare against your previous run.
One anatomy, done properly. The phantom is built from a real segmented brain scan, so what you see behaves like tissue, not like a cartoon.
Also in the library: SE, GRE, STIR, and the names each vendor uses. After v1: stroke, mass-lesion and other pathology cases; spine and knee; 3 T.
Buy it on its own, or get it bundled with the Zlado course you are already doing. Either way it is a subscription with a clear end date.
Anyone can sign up on this site and start scanning today — students in a radiography programme, technologists preparing for a licensing exam, teachers who want a demonstration tool.
Enrol in a related course — MRI Foundation, for example — and simulator access is switched on the moment your enrolment is confirmed. No form, no waiting for staff.
You get the real console, not a video of it. The counter is always on screen so you can spend your scans on the sequences you want to understand.
We are setting prices together with the first cohort of students rather than guessing. The structure below is fixed; the amounts are not yet.
Course-bundled access (Path B) has no separate price — it is part of the course fee for the courses that include it.
Day-to-day practice is not graded — you are supposed to make mistakes there. The certificate is earned at the end, by two gates.
Physics and protocol questions written by Zlado's MRI faculty: what changes when TR halves, why FLAIR needs a long TR, how to read a SAR warning.
A timed exam on the simulator itself: plan and run a set protocol on a case you have not seen, within scan-time and coverage limits. The images you produce are what gets assessed.
A simulator earns trust by being honest about its edges. These are ours in version 1.
The phantom comes from a real scan acquired at 3 mm (1 mm for FLAIR). Ask for 1 mm slices on a 3 mm source and you get an interpolation, not new detail — and the console tells you so.
Version 1 is one healthy adult brain. Stroke, tumour and other pathology datasets are the first expansion after launch.
Field strength and coil are fixed in v1. Sequences that need flow, steady-state or partial-Fourier physics (TOF, TrueFISP, HASTE) are listed in the library but locked until the engine supports them.
