Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

ScanTrainer teaches scanning without a patient in the room. The probe has force feedback, so the trainee feels the plane, the pressure and the contact point exactly as in a real examination, and what appears on screen are ultrasound sweeps from real patients, not generated images.

What sets it apart from an ordinary simulator is ScanTutor: a virtual tutor that corrects while you scan. It shows whether the plane is right, highlights the structures to be recognised and indicates where the calipers should have gone. It is the feedback a tutor standing beside you would give, available at any hour and without taking up their diary.

The curriculum is structured in levels, from basic probe manipulation through to complex pathology recognition, and the management system lets tutors follow each trainee, build their own programmes and replay every attempt.

Knowledge

What you learn

Patient simulator modality. The competencies this equipment trains, in the language of the training plan.

  • Ultrasound physics and probe manipulation: how the movement relates to the plane.
  • Transvaginal and transabdominal obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound.
  • Fetal biometry and gestational age calculation.
  • Spectral Doppler in pregnancy: uterine, umbilical, middle cerebral artery and ductus venosus.
  • Recognition of gynaecological pathology, including endometriosis.
  • General medical, emergency, breast, neck, scrotal and transrectal ultrasound.

Knowledge

Cases and pathologies

The clinical scenarios that can be simulated with this equipment.

The ScanTrainer Case Library contains over 600 patient cases including 300+ structured cases for trainees to learn to recognise and diagnose pathology. A selection of patient case exams that use multiple choice questions puts a student’s diagnostic skills to the ultimate test. MODULE OF ULTRASOUND PHYSICS:
  • The nature of ultrasound
  • Basic principles of real-time scanning
  • Doppler and image optimisation
  • Artefacts and Safe practice
MODULE OF PROBE MANIPULATION SKILLS:
  • The ScanTrainer probe manipulation module teaches the effect of probe manipulation on how structures are shown on an ultrasound image.
  • It has been designed specifically to improve hand-eye coordination and 3D to 2D visual awareness for ultrasound trainees.
SKILLS LEARNING MODULES:
  • Extensive learning modules by clinical speciality provide students with a wealth of educational resources.
  • ScanTutor, our unique real-time virtual tutor replicates learning one-to-one with an expert and is embedded into all our modules.
  • Trainees will be able to acquire complex, hard-to-learn ultrasound scanning skills independently, in their own time and at their own pace.
  • An extensive library of patient cases allows students to access a diverse range of common normal variants, abnormalities and pathology. There are currently over 500 real patient scans in the ScanTrainer Case Library. Over 300 structured patient cases take students through the stages of patient assessment to final diagnosis.
SKILLS ASSESSMENT:
  • After each lesson, students can self-check their performance.
  • Modules are broken down by task and are assessed against Gold Standard metrics set by expert practitioners.
  • With each pass or fail grade, an explanation is stated including any relevant expert images to demonstrate the correct technique.
  • In ‘Test Mode’, all aids are deactivated and the trainee is assessed using the in-built metrics as though they are scanning a real patient.

Features and what's included

What the equipment does and what comes in the box, as described by the manufacturer.

Features

  • True haptic feedback: the trainee feels the plane and the pressure on the patient.
  • Over 1,000 ultrasound sweeps from real patients, transvaginal and transabdominal.
  • ScanTutor: immediate feedback on plane, structures and measurements.
  • Colour Doppler, M-mode and spectral Doppler in the cases where it is clinically appropriate.
  • Automatic HC, AC, BPD, FL, OFD and CRL measurement with gestational age calculation.
  • Learning management system: per-trainee tracking, custom programmes and replays.
  • Cloud case generator: tutors upload their own 3D sweeps and turn them into cases.
  • Cart-based with two 24" monitors or portable, with no change to the software.
SCANTRAINER CLOUD:
  • Remote access to learning resources and upload scans to create patient cases and design curricula.
CASE GENERATOR:
  • Case Generator is a unique feature of the ScanTrainer Cloud service.
  • By enabling tutors to upload their own scans and create patient cases, bespoke training programs can be created, which address the specific teaching points a tutor may wish to make.
  • * Patient cases can be generated from GE Voluson and Toshiba Aplio 500 / 400 / 300 series ultrasound machines.
SHARE YOUR CASE STUDIES:
  • Tutors can choose to publish their cases locally for sole use by their own trainees, or share globally with other ScanTrainer Cloud users around the world via the Cloud Case Library.
SCAN TRAINER EXAMINE:
  • Access extensive pathology and structured patient cases acros multiple clinical specialties to learn diagnostic skills.
CASE LEARNING:
  • ScanTrainer Examine includes a cloud-based Case Library, which allows students to develop their diagnostic skills independently and without assistance from the system’s ScanTutor, a feature of ScanTrainer that supports guided practice in the early stages of learning scanning skills.
  • It gives access to extensive and varied pathology across multiple clinical specialities enabling students to experience real-world patient cases that may otherwise take years to encounter in the real clinical setting.
CASE EXAMS:
  • A number of case exams have been designed to test a student’s competency and confidence in ultrasound practice with patient cases that use multiple-choice questions to test the accuracy and certainty of their diagnoses.

Includes

  • Transabdominal (TAS) and transvaginal (TVS) ultrasound
