Ultrasound imaging simulation module

anatomyfistulavenous thrombosis

Ultrasound mapping is performed as part of pre-operative planning for procedures such as sclerotherapy and varicose vein surgery. This module teaches you how to prepare for and perform preoperative vein-artery ultrasound mapping, and how to scan for signs of upper limb venous thrombosis. Including both Learn and Test modes, the online simulator offers three clinical scenarios that test your ability to perform this type of scan. Practice the steps of the procedures online as often as you want, until you feel confident. Discuss preoperative vein-artery mapping for the following procedures: Sclerotherapy Perforator veins and varicosities Radial artery harvest Arteriovenous fistula for dialysis Suitability for venous bypass graft and harvest Discuss venous imaging of the upper extremity for deep venous thrombosis 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
