MRI Toolkit brings practical MRI learning and protocol calculations into one focused app for MRI students, technologists, and imaging professionals. Learn basic MRI physics in plain language, calculate voxel dimensions, estimate scan time, explore protocol tradeoffs, and compare common manufacturer sequence acronyms. INCLUDED TOOLS • Basic MRI Physics Follow the journey from proton alignment and RF excitation to relaxation, signal detection, gradients, k-space, SNR, and spatial resolution. • Voxel Calculator Compare 2D and 3D voxel dimensions and volume using FOV, matrix, slice thickness, slab coverage, and slice/partition thickness. • Scan Time Calculator Estimate acquisition time and review timing relationships using TR, phase matrix, NEX, echo train length, TE, TI, and bandwidth. • Protocol Optimizer Explore balanced, resolution, SNR, or scan-time goals and compare current parameters with educational suggestions and clearly stated tradeoffs. • Sequence Acronyms Cross-reference common Siemens, GE, Philips, and Canon names for related MRI sequence families. OPTIONAL LEARNING MODULES Explore free previews of Contrast, Timing and Sequences; MRI Acceleration; Artifacts and Image Quality; and Bandwidth Deep Dive. Unlock each complete module with a one-time in-app purchase. An optional Artifacts + Bandwidth Bundle unlocks both Modules 4 and 5. Restore Purchases is available for previously purchased content. PRIVACY FIRST MRI Toolkit requires no account and contains no advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics. Calculator inputs remain on the device. EDUCATIONAL USE MRI Toolkit is an educational reference and calculation aid. Calculations are simplified estimates. The app does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or monitor medical conditions and does not replace scanner documentation, institutional policy, device labeling, MRI safety procedures, or qualified clinical judgment.
RadProtocol

RadProtocol helps clinical staff choose the right MRI or CT order code from their department's approved order list, and suggests an Ontario priority level (P1 to P4) with its target time. EVERY RESULT SHOWS ITS SOURCES Each recommendation lists what it is based on, with links: • Your department's approved order list: the code chosen, the indications it is approved for, and the version of the list • Ontario Health's diagnostic imaging priority definitions, and the Ontario Ministry of Health's explanation of priority levels • Your department's own priority document, where one has been uploaded • How the recommendation was made WHAT IT DOES • Suggests the best-matching MRI or CT order code from the approved list, with its confidence and reasoning • Recommends a P1 to P4 priority and target time, with reasons • Handles requests that need more than one exam • Lists alternatives and the information that would change the answer • Flags safety and contrast considerations, and marks uncertain or urgent results for radiologist review • Dictate the clinical indication: speech is turned into text on your iPhone and the recording never leaves it BUILT FOR SAFETY • Only codes on the approved list can be suggested; it never invents one • It does not make diagnoses; the ordering clinician makes the final decision • Details that look like patient identifiers are removed before a request is processed • MRI safety, contrast, renal and pregnancy screening remain mandatory ACCOUNTS Create an account with your email address, or sign in with one issued by your department. One account works for MRI and CT, in the app and at radprotocol.ca. You can delete your account at any time from Account. RadProtocol is decision support for healthcare professionals. It does not replace clinical judgement or the radiologist.

Verdict
MRI Toolkit and RadProtocol are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
