Echocardiography simulation module

anatomyweb-based

This module teaches you how to how to assess cardiac wall motion and diastolic function. Including both Learn and Test modes, the online simulator offers three clinical scenarios that test your ability to evaluate various aspects of diastolic function. Practice the steps of the procedures online as often as you want, until you feel confident. Review cardiac anatomy. Describe the pathologies that may affect the cardiac chambers. Calculate linear and volume measurements of the cardiac chambers. Evaluate the wall motion of the left ventricle. Describe and demonstrate special measurements used in echocardiography. Define and use related medical terminology. The SIMTICS modules are all easy to use and web-based. This means they are available at any time as long as the learner has an internet connection. No special hardware or other equipment is required, other than a computer mouse for use in the simulations. Each of the SIMTICS modules covers one specific procedure or topic in detail. Each module contains: an online simulation (available in Learn and Test modes) descriptive text, which explains exactly how to perform that particular procedure including key terms and hyperlinks to references 2D images and a 3D model of applied anatomy for that particular topic a step by step video demonstration by an expert a quiz a personal logbook that keeps track of all the modules the learner has studied and how long
