Ultrasound devices: 1 US device per 5 participants with one healthy volunteer
Schallware Ultrasound Simulators: Advanced 1 participant per simulator + master simulator on stage
These simulation-supported ultrasound courses last 4 days. The courses are conducted with alternating lecturers and tutors on real US devices and simulators.
The aim of the courses is to offer a basic and advanced abdominal course according to EFSUMB/DEGUM guidelines. Participants will have extensive individual practice time using the simulator and gain access to the pathology database.
The lecturers perform a “master scan” on stage with projection via beamer, while all participants repeat the exercise simultaneously using a dummy probe and mannequin (simulator).
After simulator training, the acquired skills are applied to volunteers and real ultrasound devices.
Contents of the courses:
• Preparation: short online instructional videos, mandatory prior to the course (Methodology and vascular anatomy, approx. 15 min each).
Links are sent in advance during registration.
• Interactive short lectures
• Live demonstrations on the ultrasound devices (incl. knobology, artifacts, Doppler, thorax, bowel, liver)
• Practical exercises on the ultrasound device: guided by tutors and lecturers, 15 teaching units (simulators), 5 participants per regular US device.
• Simulator practice sessions: topic-related, directly after the theoretical introduction in the short lecture, or moderated during the simultaneous master scan.
Lecturers and tutors introduce the respective organs or organ systems with short lectures. Afterwards, participants independently work out normal findings and typical pathological findings using real patient case studies. Participants use the simulators, where case studies (clinical data and virtual models) can be uploaded.
Lectures are supported by examinations on a patient dummy, into which real three-dimensional patient data are virtually projected.
Sonographic case studies on the simulator with real patient data examples:
• Normal findings of all presented organs and organ systems
• Aortic aneurysm
• Aortic sclerosis
• Pancreatic lipomatosis
• Pancreatitis
• Pancreatic carcinoma
• Hydronephrosis
• Nephrolithiasis
• Renal cysts
• Renal tumors
• Fatty liver
• Liver cysts
• Liver tumors
• Liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension
• Bile duct dilatation
• Gallstones (cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis)
• Cholecystitis
• Splenomegaly
• Ascites
Language during the courses: English
Each topic: ultrasound simulators.
Live scan with volunteers/patients when indicated.

Red bars show acquired areas of patient. Red arrows equate to intercostal fan volumes.
Cases were acquired for example with convex, linear probe, in color doppler modus and maybe at several dates. You can open details and browse image list of regions of interest (ROIs), which are supported by simulator as you can be led automatically to these structures (bubble in space).
