A unique high-fidelity phantom for teaching and practising abdominal ultrasound scanning which includes simulated lesions embedded as targets to provide wider educational opportunities.
Skills
- Instrumentation and probe manipulation
- Basics of abdominal sonography
- Cross sections and sonographic anatomy
- Sonographic demonstration of each individual organ
- Localisation of hepatic Couinaud’s segments
- Lesion detection training
- Any ultrasound device with a convex probe can be used
- Near life-size organs, structures and abnormal lesions
- Various simulated lesions including biliary stones and cysts, solid tumors (hypoechoic, hyperechoic and target appearance) in the liver, pancreas, spleen and kidneys
- Four variations of simulated lesions enrich training application
-
Detailed anatomy includes:
- the liver (eight Couinaud’s segments, portal and hepatic venous systems, ligamentum teres & ligamentum venosum)
- biliary tract (gallbladder, cystic duct, intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts)
- pancreas (pancreatic duct)
- spleen
- kidneys
- vascular structures (aorta, vena cava, celiac artery with branches, portal vein with branches, superior mesenteric vessels, renal vessels) -
Pathologies include:
- hepatic lesions (cystic & solid)
- gallbladder & bile duct stones
- pancreatic tumors (one invading the portal vein)
- splenic lesions
- kidney lesions
- left adrenal tumor - Durable long-life urethane elastomer materials
