The Schallware Ultrasound Simulator allows your doctors to practice ultrasound diagnosis just as under real conditions; moving one of the four dummy transducers over the dummy torsos produces the exact B-scans of the selected case. Our exclusive lossless multi-volume reslicing algorithm computes these B-scans in real-time from the actual patient scan data. The scan data is organized into thematic modules ranging from beginner to advanced difficulty; with two dummy torsos and four dummy transducers available, our system covers ultrasound diagnosis scenarios in the internal medicine, emergency, cardiology and gynaecology departments.The Core System includes one dummy torso, three modules and corresponding transducers. Various add-on modules are available from our continuously growing library produced by our affiliated clinics. Each module includes up to twelve documented patient cases. Ensure consistent quality and knowledge by allowing doctors to regularly revisit documented cases at any time. With the Simulator, your doctors can now regularly practice ultrasound diagnosis on both common and rare, once-in-a-year cases. Doctors can test their knowledge by comparing their diagnosis to the documentation associated with each module. In this way, the Simulator serves as a reference for your clinic, available at any time. Providing these constantly available training and reference resources to your doctors sets a consistent quality standard in ultrasound diagnosis throughout ...

During the late eighties, Prof. Ilan Timor, while working in Haifa, Israel, was one of the world's pioneers in transvaginal sonography. His slogan "Do it with higher frequency" was based on the fact that higher ultrasound frequency allows supreme resolution on imaging of the female internal genital organs and of the fetus in a very early stage. This high frequency is possible only by using transvaginal ultrasound probes. High frequency waves poorly penetrate the abdominal wall. If a probe is laid on the external abdominal wall, lower frequencies (and hence worse resolution) must be used in order to penetrate the barrier of the women's belly. Early screening for fetal malformations by transvaginal sonography (at 14-15 weeks of pregnancy when the crown-rump length of the fetus is about 8-9 cm) is common practice in Israel and most fetal anomalies can be detected at this early stage. Though it is done routinely in Israel in the last 15-20 years, somehow until now (2009) the rest of the world has not yet adopted it. In the last few yeas Ilan Timor is working in New-York University in Manhattan and is considered to be one of the world leaders of OB/GYN ultrasound. In 2002 Ilan Timor won the Ian Donald Gold Medal of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) and on 2006 he won the gold medal of the Israel Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In the ceremony, this video was presented. The probe shown in the last picture of this ...

The reflected wave off the surface is seen together with a wave caused by a surface wave on the tube, as well as a subsequent pulse caused by an internal reflection and transmission through the wall.

Article describing this finding: bit.ly On the FAST (Focused Assessment by Sonography in Trauma) exam there can be a common false positive finding called the Double Line Sign. The Double Line is the renal capsule and the Peritoneum with perinephric adipose tissue inbetween. Basically you are visualizing degrotta's Fascia. The perinephric fat is recognized by its internal echos and location between the 2 hyperechoic tissue layers. This is analogous to seeing a pericardial fat pad around the heart on the FAST or echocardiographic exam. This is not free fluid but can commonly be mistaken for such especially if the person is rushing, does not follow protocol, or has improper gain settings.
Video taken from the manufacturer's website. See link at the end of the video. Please note that EPIC 2 (evidence based practice in infection control) recommendations are that skin asepsis is achieved with chlorhexidine gluconate 2% in alcohol 70% (unless patient is allergic in which case povidone-iodine should be used like in this video). Furthermore, many doctors/nurses now recommend the use of ultrasound guidance for internal jugular vein cannulation in the elective setting (NICE guidelines from September 2002).

En embriología, saco vitelino se refiere a un anexo embrionario que produce, transporta nutrientes y oxígeno hacia el embrión; y de éste, elimina desechos metabólicos como CO2. Su nombre se debe a que posee forma de saco. Se ha descubierto que el saco vitelino desempeña funciones importantísimas en el desarrollo embrionario. Además, se sabe que este anexo es la primera fuente sanguínea del embrión, con lo cuál se transforma en un constituyente vital para el embrión, sin el cuál no sobreviviría. El saco vitelino está cubierto por una delgada capa mucosa y una pared más interna rica en vasos sanguíneos que serán aportados al comunicado embrionario. Luego de la gastrulación, el saco vitelino queda suspendido y sostenido del cuerpo embrionario, con lo que da forma al conducto vitelino. Mediante el desarrollo fetal, y principalmente a partir de la 9 y 10 semana de desarrollo, el saco vitelino comienza a degenerar de manera natural por diversas causas, como su compresión debido al aumento del espacio ocupado por el amnios. Durante el periodo temprano del desarrollo embrionario, el saco vitelino es la estructura de mayor dimensión, con una forma ovalada, pero que con el desarrollo, adquiere una apariencia periforme. No se conoce cuánto tiempo permanece activo el saco vitelino. Estructura del saco vitelino:El saco vitelino está constituido morfológicamente por 3 ...

A TVUS was carried out just now. Besides a 20 mm size adnexal cyst (with internal echos) compatible with a chocolate cyst, there is a hypoechoeic mass in the anterior wall of the uterus compressing the endometrial cavity but without displacing the endometrial strip.

How the Test is Performed: You will lie down on a table with your knees bent and feet in holders called stirrups. The health care provider will place a probe, called a transducer, into the vagina. The probe is covered with a condom and a gel. The probe sends out sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives these waves and uses them to create a picture.
