چکیده

With the increasing role played by ultrasound in clinical diagnostics, ultrasound training in medical education has been becoming very important. The clinical routine is for ultrasound to be trained on real patients; therefore, monitored and guided examinations involving medical students are quite time constrained. To be realistically effective, a computerized ultrasound simulation would provide ample time and opportunity for sonograph training. We have investigated a real time ultrasound simulation methodology based on 3-dimentional (3-D) mesh model of the organ. A virtual echocardiogram displays various sonograph orientation in real time according to the placement of a virtual transducer without the need of an actual patient. Keyword — Biomedical imaging, ultrasound simulation, image synthesis, medical training.

The masked educator-innovative simulation in an Australian undergraduate Medical Sonography and Medical Imaging program

INTRODUCTION Clinical learning experiences for sonography and medical imaging students can sometimes involve the practice of technical procedures with less of a focus on developing communication skills with patients. Whilst patient-based simulation scenarios have been widely reported in other health education programmes, there is a paucity of research in sonography and medical imaging. The aim ...

3D Augmented Reality Simulator for Neonatal Cranial Sonography Short title: AR Simulator for Neonatal Cranial Sonography

We are presenting CranUS, a simulator for neonatal cranial sonography. Its main purpose is to support teaching and training of a method of examination used in child radiology, that depicts the inside of a baby's skull by viewing through the fontanelle using ultrasound signals. This paper describes the concept and the implementation of that augmented reality supported 3D simulator, which is – to...

Soft Tissue Modeling Using ANFIS for Training Diagnosis of Breast Cancer in Haptic Simulator

Soft tissue modeling for the creation of a haptic simulator for training medical skills has been the focus of many attempts up to now. In soft tissue modeling the most important parameter considered is its being real-time, as well as its accuracy and sensitivity. In this paper, ANFIS approach is used to present a nonlinear model for soft tissue. The required data for training the neuro-fuzzy mo...
