Another, visually simple, can prepare someone better for the first time in front of a patient. The difference lies in how closely the decisions the student makes in the simulator match the ones they would make on the equipment.</p> <p>Before putting a simulator in a classroom, a teaching institution needs to know what it trains, how it measures what the student did and on what basis it claims that this result means anything.</p>https://imagix.tech/en/articles/when-the-patient-cannot-move/Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:00:00 -0300https://imagix.tech/en/articles/when-the-patient-cannot-move/<p>The patient arrives on a stretcher, wearing a cervical collar, with a suspected hip fracture. The request is for a pelvis radiograph and a lateral view of the femur. The positioning manual describes both projections with the patient rotating the leg, lying on their side or raising the limb. None of those movements is possible, and some of them should not even be attempted.</p> <p>The radiograph still has to show the entire anatomy, without rotation that gets in the way of reading it, and with the correct exposure. And, preferably, on the first attempt.</p>https://imagix.tech/en/articles/learning-before-entering-the-room/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 09:00:00 -0300https://imagix.tech/en/articles/learning-before-entering-the-room/<p>Whoever operates an MRI scanner makes dozens of decisions before the first image appears. Which protocol, which coil, where to set the landmark, how to angle the slice group, how far to raise the echo time, whether the deposited energy still fits within the limit. Each of those decisions has a consequence, and the most expensive way to learn them is on the scanner, with a patient inside.</p> <h2 id="every-hour-of-training-is-an-hour-without-exams">Every hour of training is an hour without exams</h2> <p>Imaging equipment is an expensive, contested resource. The cost of learning in the room has two parts: the machine hour that served no one, and the time of the experienced professional who stood alongside explaining instead of operating.</p>
