Read full descriptionHide full description
Interactive, intuitive, 3D graphical representations of MRI spin dynamics to aid in teaching, learning and interpretation. Beginning with a quick tour and basic examples, users can advance to view waveforms, directly control RF/gradients, or directly control the spin dynamics for illustration. 3D vectors are rendered, and pulseq sequences (.seq) can be loaded/displayed/exported for compatibility other tools. Start by trying the 2 Minute Tour, then a Full Tour, then view at Basic Examples. Next try the Full View and/or Direct Control of spins. This assumes a basic knowledge of MRI, but ideally can accompany basic lectures. The first release is mostly designed for iPhone. The iPad layouts allow more space, and we will develop these further with user input. We welcome all feedback and can add features, though also trying to keep it reasonably lightweight!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spintuition at none against Rad Index's 1. Spintuition also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Rad Index's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
