Ultrasound imaging simulation module

anatomyweb-based

This module teaches you how to prepare for and perform an ultrasound examination of the gallbladder. Including both Learn and Test modes, the online simulator offers three different scan scenarios, including normal and pathological cases, of the gallbladder and surrounding structures. Practice the steps of the procedures online as often as you want, until you feel confident. Indications for ultrasound of the gallbladder Identify gallbladder anatomy Gallbladder protocol Transducer positions Scan planes Identify and obtain sonographic images of the gallbladder, bile ducts, and portal triad Identify and obtain sonographic images of the extrahepatic biliary system Obtain measurements of the gallbladder and related structures Explain and demonstrate the use of breathing techniques to obtain optimal sonographic images of the gallbladder Differentiate normal and abnormal sonographic appearances of the gallbladder List and identify common neoplasms of the gallbladder 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
