Built for future MRI technologists

Learn to think in slices.

MRI shows the body one section at a time: axial, coronal, and sagittal. Drag the line through the body and watch the real cross-section change. Every picture here is cut from the same 3D anatomy model you explore inside the course.

Flat, like slicing a loaf of bread. Separates upper from lower.

Drag the line, or focus here and use the arrow keys

Loading sections…

Seen from the feet, the way axial images are displayed: the patient’s right is on your left.

Look inside

Understand it.
See it. Say it.

Connect each word to a structure, a location, and a job.

Explore illustrated lessons and inline 3D models, hear unfamiliar terms, and check your understanding with practice questions.

Two organs toward the back of the abdomen filter the blood and turn its waste into urine.

CommunicationThe neuron

A nerve cell receives and passes along signals. Connected neurons help the body sense, respond, and coordinate.

Practice the way techs think

Find it. Count it. Position it.

The same hands-on practice you get in every chapter: tap organs on real sections, name spine levels, and learn the positioning words you will hear on day one of clinicals.

Can you find it?

Three real cross-sections. Tap the organ we name.

Every image is cut from the course’s 3D model, shown the way sections are displayed.

Count the spine

Name every level, the way spine exams are ordered.

Tap a vertebra or a disc to name it.

Find

  • C7, the bump at the base of the neck
  • T12, the last vertebra with a pair of ribs
  • the L4-L5 disc

Positioning words

Roll the patient. The directions roll with them.

Supine, feet first: on the back, face up, feet into the scanner first. The heart is still anterior to the spine.

FAQ

Who is this course for?

Anyone preparing to become an MRI Technologist. Start with the anatomy and physiology foundations; no healthcare experience or prior anatomy coursework is needed.

Do I need to recognize anatomy on MRI images?

No. Learn what structures are, what they do, where they are, and how they relate. MRI examples offer a preview; image interpretation is not required.

What does the course cost?

Reading every chapter is free, with no account. Practice is free with a free account. The final exam and certificate are free through December 31, 2026; after that they cost $250, or $75 for TeslaMR applicants.

Do I need an account?

Not to read. To practice and take the final, make a free account with your email and the name for your certificate. It takes about a minute.

How do I earn the certificate?

Score 85% or higher: 34 of 40 final-exam questions correct. Each attempt lasts 60 minutes, and you can retake the final for 12 months. Practice and pre-test scores do not count.

Does this satisfy TeslaMR’s A&P admissions requirement?

Yes. Pass the final exam with 85% or higher to satisfy TeslaMR’s A&P admissions requirement. You must still meet the program’s other admissions requirements.

Is this professional certification or college credit?

No. This is a TeslaMR course completion certificate, not professional MRI certification, licensure, college credit, or continuing-education credit.

Can I study on my phone?

Yes. Read lessons, explore anatomy, and hear pronunciations on your phone. Practice scores and final-exam answers save to your free account.
