Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

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 a...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

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...

  • Needle aspiration is a key procedure for diagnosing and managing SSTIs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, low-cost, and durable phantom model for simulating various SSTIs.
  • To create an ultrasound-compatible simulator for realistic training scenarios.
  • To design a versatile model suitable for needle aspiration practice.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a non-perishable phantom using readily available materials.
  • Incorporation of simulated pathologies, including abscesses and necrotizing fasciitis.
  • Validation of ultrasound compatibility and needle aspiration performance.

Main Results:

  • The developed SSTI phantom model demonstrated durability and an extended shelf-life.
  • The model successfully simulated multiple pathologies, including abscesses and necrotizing fasciitis.
  • The phantom proved to be ultrasound-compatible and effective for needle aspiration training.

Conclusions:

  • This novel SSTI phantom offers a cost-effective, reproducible, and versatile tool for medical education.
  • The simulator enhances training for ultrasound-guided procedures and SSTI management.
  • The model's design facilitates realistic practice of needle aspiration in a safe environment.
