ScanFlo

ScanFlo CT

Protocol mastery, dose discipline included.

From scout to helical acquisition to reconstruction. Learners make the same choices a CT technologist makes — and see every consequence in image quality and patient dose.

Inside the console

Real screens, not renders.

Every image below is a capture from the simulator learners actually use.

ScanFlo CT — Exam · Topogram + dose
ScanFlo CT exam cockpit: a lateral head topogram with the scan range planned on it, an axial preview, and the protocol card showing mA, kV, slice thickness and direction beside live CTDIvol and DLP dose readouts
Exam Cockpit — plan the range on the topogram, set the protocol, and watch CTDIvol and DLP move with every decision.
ScanFlo CT — Viewing · Soft vs bone kernel
ScanFlo CT viewing workspace comparing the same axial brain slice reconstructed with a soft-tissue kernel and a bone kernel side by side
Viewing — the same acquisition in soft-tissue and bone kernels, side by side. Reconstruction taught visually.
ScanFlo CT — Filming · 5×6 layout
ScanFlo CT filming workspace composing a 5×6 film page of 31 axial head slices, with patient list, partition grid and layout controls, ready for print or PDF export
Filming — page composition, partition grids and layout presets, from scan to finished film.
ScanFlo CT — MPR · Axial, coronal, sagittal + 3D VR
ScanFlo CT MPR workspace with axial, coronal and sagittal abdomen reformats, a linked crosshair, and a 3D bone volume render of the spine and pelvis
MPR & 3D — reformat any plane with a linked crosshair, render the volume, and batch a series for filming.

Dose by consequence

Optimization you can see, not memorize.

Dose tables don't build judgment — consequences do. Learners halve the mAs and watch noise climb; raise the pitch and watch dose and coverage shift together. CTDIvol and DLP update with every decision, so ALARA becomes a habit instead of a slide.

  • CTDIvol and DLP reported on every scan
  • mAs vs. noise trade-off demonstrated live
  • kVp choices and their contrast and dose consequences
  • Pitch, coverage and dose interact the way the physics says

Reconstruction

The scan isn't done at the gantry.

Kernel choice, slice thickness and windowing decide what the radiologist actually sees. Learners reconstruct the same raw acquisition with different kernels and windows, and learn why chest CT is read three different ways.

  • Soft vs. sharp kernels on the same acquisition
  • Lung, mediastinal and bone window discipline
  • Slice thickness vs. noise and detail
  • HRCT reconstruction as a distinct skill

Protocol families

From routine chest to cardiac gating.

The protocol library spans the studies a new technologist must own: routine head and chest, high-resolution lung work, and the timing-critical world of cardiac CT — each with guided cases and exercises.

  • Routine head, chest and abdomen protocols
  • HRCT with appropriate reconstruction
  • Cardiac protocol concepts and timing
  • Guided cases with exercises attached

Frequently asked questions

Does ScanFlo CT teach dose optimization?+

Yes — it is central to the product. CTDIvol and DLP are reported on every acquisition, and learners see how kVp, mAs, pitch and collimation move both dose and image quality. Optimization is learned by consequence, not by memorizing tables.

Can learners reconstruct the same scan differently?+

Yes. The same acquisition can be reconstructed with different kernels, slice thicknesses and windows, which is exactly how learners internalize why protocols specify reconstruction parameters.

What do I need to run it?+

A modern browser on a laptop or desktop. There is nothing to install, and licensing is per-device within your plan.

Is CT included in the same plans as MRI?+

Yes — Pro and institutional plans include both simulators in one console. The free student tier starts with MRI core sequences.
