Master the scannerbefore you touch one.
ScanFlo is the simulation platform where imaging skills are made. Raise TR from 500 to 2000 ms and watch T1 contrast wash out — a real console workflow that responds like the magnet does.

The bottleneck
Imaging skills are rationed by scanner access.
Every radiography program faces the same constraint: the machine that teaches best is the machine that's never free.
Scanner time is scarce
A department magnet earns revenue scanning patients, not training students. Most learners graduate with only a handful of supervised console hours.
Theory doesn't transfer
Knowing the T1 relaxation equation is not the same as knowing what happens on screen when you drop TR from 2000 to 500 ms. That intuition only comes from doing.
Mistakes are expensive
On a real scanner, a wrong protocol wastes table time and repeats dose. In a simulator, a wrong protocol is the fastest lesson a learner will ever get.
The comparison
Simulator hours vs scanner hours.
Not a replacement for the magnet — the preparation that makes scanner time count.
| ScanFlo | Department scanner | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | 24/7, any browser | Booked slots between patients |
| Cost of a mistake | The fastest lesson available | Wasted table time, repeated dose |
| Repetitions per hour | As many as the learner needs | One, if the queue allows |
| Radiation | Zero — dose is simulated and displayed | Real dose on every CT repeat |
| Instructor visibility | Every session recorded per learner | Whatever fits in supervision hours |
See it in action
Five minutes at the console.
The full walkthrough — localizers, slice planning, parameters, scanning, viewing and filming. No narrator theatrics, just the workflow.
ScanFlo MRI
The full MRI console, from localizer to last sequence.
Spin echo, gradient echo, inversion recovery. Plan slice groups on real localizers, set every timing parameter, and watch contrast change exactly as the physics dictates.
- TR, TE, TI and flip angle drive image contrast live
- Slice planning with Siemens-style positioning workflow
- Artifacts on demand: motion, aliasing, chemical shift
- SNR, scan time and resolution trade-offs made visible
ScanFlo CT
Protocols, dose and reconstruction — mastered before the gantry.
From scout to helical acquisition to HRCT. Learners set kVp, mAs, pitch and kernels, then see the consequences in image quality and patient dose.
- kVp, mAs and pitch with live dose feedback (CTDIvol, DLP)
- Reconstruction kernels and window/level discipline
- Helical, HRCT and cardiac protocol families
- Dose optimization taught by doing, not by slides
How it works
Ten minutes to your first scan.
No install, no setup, no scanner booking sheet. Open the browser and the console is on.
Choose a case
Pick from the case library — brain routine, lumbar spine, chest CT and more. The virtual patient is positioned and the console is yours.
Set your parameters
TR, TE, TI, flip angle, kVp, mAs, pitch — every control behaves the way the physics says it should. Plan slices on real localizers.
Scan and learn
Run the acquisition, read your images, see the consequences of every choice. Repeat until the console feels like home.
Platform
Everything a program needs to teach the console.
Real parameter physics
Images respond to your parameters the way a real magnet or gantry does — contrast, noise, artifacts and dose all follow the physics.
Siemens-style workflow
Console layout, protocol trees and planning steps modeled on the workflows learners will meet in the department.
Case library
Guided cases across anatomies and pathologies, from first localizer to finished series, with exercises attached.
Artifact teaching
Motion, aliasing, chemical shift, beam hardening — create artifacts on purpose, then learn to eliminate them.
Progress tracking
Scans, cases completed and skills covered, visible to the learner — and to instructors on institutional plans.
Anywhere, any device
Fully browser-based with per-device licensing. A laptop in the library is now a scanner console.
Who it's for
One platform. Three ways in.
Universities
Give every student console hours the department scanner can't spare. Cohorts, assignments and instructor analytics.
ScanFlo for universities →Hospitals
Bring new radiographers to console competency before their first supervised shift — without giving up table time.
ScanFlo for hospitals →Students & radiographers
Practice sequences, planning and protocol decisions on your own schedule. Free tier to start, Pro when you're serious.
ScanFlo for individuals →Proven in production
Built where radiographers are trained — thousands of learners scan on ScanFlo every term.
ScanFlo wasn't designed in a vacuum — it grew inside a working radiography training program, shaped by instructors and students at real consoles.
