Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

3.0K
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Ultrasonography

8.4K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Simulation
    • Ultrasound Technology
    • Obstetric Imaging

    Background:

    • Point-of-care (POC) ultrasound adoption is rising, creating a demand for accessible training solutions.
    • Formal obstetric ultrasound training programs are not always available to all users.
    • A need exists for effective, low-cost training tools for POC ultrasound in obstetrics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an affordable, compact, laptop-based obstetric ultrasound simulator.
    • To provide a realistic and structured training experience for basic obstetric ultrasound skills.
    • To enable performance assessment for users without access to formal sonography education.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a simulator with a 5 DoF sham transducer tracking system and a virtual torso model.
    • Generated 3-D ultrasound image volumes using overlapping sweeps and a Markov random field approach.
    • Implemented task-based training modules covering basic ultrasound, obstetric space orientation, and fetal biometry.
    • Automated performance evaluation by comparing user-identified landmarks with sonographer-defined references.

    Main Results:

    • The simulator offers a realistic scanning experience with real-time 2-D image rendering (≥30 frames/s) and good image quality.
    • Task-based training modules guide users through standard obstetric ultrasound protocols.
    • Automated performance assessment provides objective feedback on user scanning skills.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed obstetric ultrasound simulator is a viable tool for structured training in basic obstetric ultrasound.
    • It addresses the need for accessible and affordable training for POC ultrasound users.
    • The simulator can enhance skills for individuals without access to traditional sonography programs.
