ScanLab offers the first ever virtual MRI and CT simulator that quantifies and assesses clinical competence and scan quality. Unlike other simulators, our virtual software helps students safely and efficiently improve their skills while providing educators and managers with the tools they need for objective clinical assessment. With ScanLab, MRI and CT operators can gain a meaningful experience that would normally take months or years to acquire.

Assessment scores benchmarked against the highest standard of excellence

With criteria that’s established and maintained by an international panel of thought leaders and educational authors like Dr. Catherine Westbrook and Anne Bright, ScanLabMR’s software reflects the most up-to-date knowledge and guidelines in the industry.

How It Works

One System to Define, Measure and Improve MRI & CT Competency

By measuring technologist performance against standardized global benchmarks, identifying gaps in knowledge and skill, and improving them through simulation-based training and education, our system delivers a smarter, safer, and faster way to teach, train and manage MRI and CT .

Measure Performance

 ScanLab objectively measures MRI and CT knowledge and scanning competency through real-time, quantitative performance assessments. Criteria is based on industry-leading standards established by renowned educators such as Dr. Catherine Westbrook and Anne Bright.

Identify Gaps

Gaps in knowledge and technical skill are identified with precision, down to how scans are executed. ScanLab analyzes the entire scanning process, identifying specific competency gaps in protocol selection, parameter optimization, image quality, workflow efficiency, and clinical decision-making. This data drives personalized learning plans that focus education and training where it’s needed.

Simulation and Education

Targeted simulation-based practice and didactic learning is prescribed based on each learner’s specific needs. ScanLab recreates the complete MRI and CT scanning experience, allowing users to produce the exact images they would generate on a clinical scanner. Accessible from any internet-connected computer, ScanLab enables unlimited practice, all without risk to patients, disruption to clinical operations, or the cost of using real scanners.

Continuous Improvement

Technologists and students are reassessed to ensure improvement is real, measurable, and sustained. Educators and managers can ensure learners meet established performance standards before progressing to clinical practice or independent scanning.

Proven Success at Universities and Healthcare Facilities

ScanLab was designed with the tools educators and managers need to teach and train effectively.

TESTIMONIALS

 What Industry Leaders Are Saying

Dr Catherine Westbrook EdD, MSc, PgC, DCRR, FHEA

“ScanLabMR is a really exciting new development in the assessment of MRI competency. For the first time, you can test your ability to prescribe and angle slices and manipulate protocol parameters in a range of different MRI examinations, all from the comfort of your own home, college or workplace. ScanLabMR not only gives you a score, but also feedback on where you went wrong and how you can improve. A great educational and practical tool!”

Anne Bright, B. App Sc, Grad Dip MR, MRSO (MRSOTM), Author: Planning and Positioning in MRI

“ScanLabMR is a great leap forward in MRI education for the Medical Imaging Technologist, enabling an “operator” to learn and test their skills with a virtual patient. The commitment of Matthew to ensuring that the software is clinically relevant by consulting with experienced operators, researchers and educators across the globe has resulted in a valuable educational resource that tests knowledge of MRI safety, pulse sequence parameters and scan coverage and alignment. In the socially distant world ScanLabMR provides a means for staff to learn and employers to assess potential employees before they are contracted to commence working.”

Sonja K. Boiteaux MSRS, RT(R)(MR), MRSO, CHC SMRT 2021 President-elect, 2020 ISMRT Crues-Kressel Award Honoree, 2019-Present ISMRT North America Chapter Acting President

“When I began teaching MRI in 2000, I immediately identified that education in a laboratory-style setting was needed for MR educational programs. The quest for a robust MR simulator is finally over. The collaboration and support of the ScanLabMR team is unparalleled. The ScanLabMR team is open and receptive to our feedback, and is constantly improving their product to ensure our students have the best experience possible.”

Darren Hudson BSc(hons) MHSc PgCert MRI Clinical Lead MRCS

“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G… what I’ve been waiting for!! ScanLab is a powerful tool with real potential to revolutionize how we objectively assess staff competence, performance and ability, as well as test their critical thinking and understanding behind aspects of clinical decision making. As a training tool it allows learners to practice scanning in a safe space and to make those mistakes we’ve all made but without impact on the patient or delaying operational productivity. It could better prepare those new to MRI to the core principles behind scan technique and help expedite getting their hand-eye coordination in for slice manipulation. I’m truly excited to see where this goes.”

Elisabeth Ioele Bsc (Hons), PgC (MRI), MRSO (MRSC™) Senior Lecturer Diagnostic Radiography

“Since its introduction to the University of the West of England BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography programme, ScanLabMR has significantly enriched the learning experience for our Undergraduate students. This innovative tool has provided an invaluable platform for hands-on learning, enabling students to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills in a safe learning environment. The commitment of the ScanLabMR team to continuous improvement and their openness to feedback have ensured a seamless integration into the programme. This has not only enhanced educational outcomes but also ensured that they meet the stringent registration guidelines set by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) to prepare them for clinical practice.”
