Imaging simulation software company ScanLabMR has launched a new version of its CT simulator for clinical training that features virtual patients.
The ScanLabCT virtual patient is a VR human with functional cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems. The software can be programmed to have unlimited variants in body composition and vascular structure, heart rate, heart rhythms, breath-hold capabilities, digestion, and range of motion, the company said.

Users can place a bolus tracking a region of interest or perform a test bolus for time-to-peak enhancement calculation without knowing which version of the virtual patient they are scanning. In addition, the user-chosen injector settings (volume and flow rate) will also affect how the contrast will be visualized within the virtual patient, ScanLabMR noted.
The MRI virtual patients are expected to be incorporated into ScanLabMR by the end of 2024, according to the firm.
