Ultra Sound Simulator

 

  SOLUTION

The CompactSim is our newest simulation based ultrasound training system. The CompactSim enables medical professionals to
develop and enrich their ultrasound scanning and interpretation skills in a patient-free, controlled environment

Clinical ultrasound requires highly skilled medical professionals. Academic institutions and continuing education programs
that traditionally teach these skills are faced with decreased access to clinical training sites and higher educational costs. As a result, the need for efficiency learning is signifcant.

The CompactSim allows medical professionals to achieve optimal educational outcomes through increased control over
clinical case presentation, the freedom to learn at their own pace, and the ability to incorporate truly objective skills set
assessment. The CompactSim is the answer to today’s educational needs.

COMPACTSIM BENEFITS:

• Patient-free, life-like, clinical training
• Increased control of clinical experiences and skills progression
• Objective method for evaluation and skills assessment
• Mistake-forgiving without critical consequences
• Diverse patient types, normal and abnormal cases
• Reproducible clinical experiences
• Location and environmental
• Reproducible clinical experiences

TECHNOLOGY

The CompactSim’s simulation capabilities originated from aviation simulation and medical imaging technologies. The
synergistic combination of these powerful technologies creates a lifelike experience. CompactSim users perform “virtual”
ultrasound examinations by scanning a human-like mannequin, accessing stored volumes of real patient ultrasound data. The
CompactSim tracks the exact position, angle and movement of the probe in relation to the area of examination. As the probe
moves across the mannequin, the on-screen image responds accordingly, providing a real time, authentic scanning experience.

CURRICULUM

The CompactSim’s task-oriented learning format is an innovative approach to ultrasound education. CompactSim’s curriculum
augments traditional methods of ultrasound education by bridging the inherent gaps associated with live patient scanning
where case diversity, pathologies, and time constraints prevent access to a thorough clinical experience.

The curriculum is modular in fromat focusing  opn anatomic areas. (i.e abdominal,obstetrics, vascular, ect). we offer over390 cases taken from real patients. Each module includes a series of clinical cases available on CD ROMs, instructor manuals. user worksheet, and  suggested currical. Each clinical  case contains case-specific data, exam protocols, educational task,patient clinical histories, reference images, and a thorough case analysis. Each module includes a variety of normal and
abnormal cases which compares to the experience gained in a real clinical setting. This comprehensive approach to ultrasound education is easily integrated into any existing curriculum.

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT & ENRICHMENT

The  campactsim  is  an invalueable tool for teaching students, residents andmedical proffessanols  new to the field of ultrasound imaging. Accelerated learning is easily achieved because the inconsistencies and limitations associated with live-patient scanning
in the clinical setting are eliminated. Users rapidly develop scan plane orientation and cross- sectional anatomy recognition skills as
they progress through each clinical case. In addition, the task-oriented,protocol driven educational materials help the user develop proper examination practices. the Compactsim’s modulas feature case of  varying diffculty to much the developing skills of participants, thus consistently providing a challenging educational experience.

Medical professionals with existing ultrasound imaging experience may use the CompactSim to cross-train by developing new
skills or enriching existing ones. The CompactSim allows the experienced user to examine uncommon pathologies or practice difficult/sensitive procedures.

The campactsim is a versatile educational system  that may be adapted to diffrent teaching  style. it allows  medical educators  thefreedom to provide self-guided tutorial sessions for individuals, or conduct faculty assisted workshops and lectures to larger
groups.

SKILLS ASSESSMENT

one of the key benefits of the CompactSim’s simulation technology is the ability to consistently assess an individual’s skills with an
objective, standardized methodology. Individuals can be evaluated using the same platform, clinical cases, tasks and questions. This
approach is a powerful tool for documenting educational achievements, determining remediation requirements, pre-hire testing,
and on-going competency assessment.
