ULTRASOUND SIMULATION

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used for medical diagnosis. It is utilized in many different medical areas, not only by radiologists but also by non-radiologist medical professionals and sonographers or ultrasound technicians. Ultrasound simulation or ultrasound skill training is an integral part of the clinical training for medical students and ultrasound technician trainees. To apply their theoretical anatomical knowledge, they first practice on medical ultrasound simulators. These specialized ultrasound skill trainers offer training in ultrasound with normal anatomy as well as an extensive range of pathologies. Trainees will learn the following ultrasound diagnostic skills:
 

• To perform common examinations safely and accurately
• To recognize and differentiate normal anatomy from pathologies
• To diagnose common abnormalities within certain organ systems
• To recognize when a referral for a second opinion is indicated
• To understand the relationship between ultrasound imaging and other diagnostic techniques
• To perform common, non-complex ultrasound-guided invasive procedures

 
Ultrasound is used as a diagnostic technique across many medical areas, such as:
 

• Urological ultrasound
• Gynecological ultrasound
• Gastrointestinal ultrasound
• Vascular ultrasound
• Breast ultrasound
• Thoracic ultrasound
• Cranial ultrasound in infants
• Focused emergency ultrasound
• Intensive care ultrasound
• Musculoskeletal ultrasound
