Why is it unique?

Advanced Ultrasound Simulation to teach Point-of-Care Sonography

Anatomy of the SonoSim Ultrasound Training Solution.

The SonoSim Ultrasound Training Solution provides integrated didactics, knowledge assessment, and hands-on training. The SonoSimulator® converts a laptop computer into your personal ultrasound training platform and delivers comprehensive ultrasound training anytime, anywhere. 

SonoSim Courses.

Ultrasound Modules Teach Fundamentals of Ultrasound Scanning

SonoSim is not only one of the best purchases we made for bedside ultrasound education, it is also the most used for our ultrasound elective and at our workshops.

On-demand Courses deliver evidence-based, didactic content created by leading ultrasound educators. Choose from over 60 online courses presented in an engaging, multimedia format using dynamic ultrasound imagery, audio narration, computer graphic imagery, and animation. You control when, where, and how you learn. 

The SonoSimulator®.

The hands-on experience really helps when it comes time to scan an actual patient.

The SonoSimulator uses real patients with normal and pathologic findings and preserves the critical ultrasound imaging artifacts required for learning. You train on real cases and learn to recognize key anatomical landmarks, image artifacts, and pathologies. 

Learn Point of Care Ultrasound to Diagnose Pathology such as Hydronephrosis.

SonoSim Probe.

Lean bladder sonography, and ultrasound for foley catheter location
The USB-powered Probe is an integral part of the SonoSimulator. It allows you to scan using a variety of approaches (e.g., using your hand, live volunteer, or a mannequin) and receive immediate expert instruction and probe-positioning guidance using a laptop computer.
 

SonoSim Case Library.

Extensive Ultrasound Case Library
Access real-patient cases on-demand. The Case Library contains over 1,000 patient cases covering a broad spectrum of normal and pathologic conditions. New cases are regularly added.

SonoSim is not only one of the best purchases we made for beside ultrasound education, it is also the most used for our ultrasound elective at our workshops.

Patented SonoSim SkillBox.

You will have the opportunity to practice in a risk-free virtual environment and rapidly and safely perfect your psychomotor skills. The SkillBox allows you to acquire the basic psychomotor skills required for clinical image window acquisition and interpretation. You will subsequently be challenged to apply your newly acquired ultrasound image acquisition and interpretation skills towards clinical scenarios.
The hands-on scanning cases come from the expansive and ever-growing Case Library.
 
 
Learn Basic Point-of-Care ultrasound fundamentals
 

Real-Time Assessment and Performance Tracking.

Hundreds of knowledge assessment questions will reinforce your learning and test your knowledge and scanning skills. You will receive real-time performance assessment and feedback. System administrators can seamlessly track and monitor user performance and progress.

 

Proven-Effective Training.

The SonoSimulator is a proven-effective, patented ultrasound training solution. It has been proven as effective as a live instructor and provides unique benefits over live instruction and course-based learning. SonoSim will let you uniformly train and assess large numbers of users in an automated way.
 
 
 
Ultrasound Task Performance Measure
Basic scanning procedures 121% Improvement
Window Interpretation 133% Improvement
Window Identification 474% Improvement
Diagnostic Interpretation 535% Improvement

The SonoSim Ultrasound Training solution is one of the more comprehensive and easy-to-use ultrasound training solutions available. In my over 25 years of experience with ultrasound and my exposure to multiple, different training courses, programs, and teachers, it is one of the best ones I have personally been exposed to.

WHAT ARE MY CONTENT CHOICES?


Compare Solutions

SonoSim vs. Live Instructors.

One-on-one live instruction provided to a learner at a patient’s bedside is the ideal method of teaching and learning ultrasonography. The high opportunity cost of one-on-one mentoring and the difficulty of finding pathologic cases on demand limits this approach. The SonoSim® Ultrasound Training Solution provides normal and pathologic cases on demand. It has been proven as effective as a live instructor in teaching ultrasound image acquisition and was proven more effective for teaching diagnostic window interpretation.

 

SonoSim Ultrasound Training Course vs. Live Sonography Training
 
 
 
 
SonoSim Online Ultrasound Education and Training Class
 

SonoSim vs. Ultrasound Courses.

The traditional approach of attending weekend courses involves significant time, travel, and costs. Attendees do not have access to pathologic conditions; instead, they are limited to normal volunteers and lose access to hands-on training and lectures following course completion. The SonoSim® Ultrasound Training Solution provides anytime-anywhere access to online course content, hands-on training, pathologic cases, and virtual mentoring.

 
 

SonoSim vs. Online Courses.

Free and subscription-based online courses are widely available on the Internet. These offerings vary greatly in quality. The inability to obtain essential hands-on scanning training is the major shortcoming of online ultrasound courses. The SonoSim® Ultrasound Training Solution provides an integrated hands-on scanning, assessment, and didactic educational experience created by leading experts in ultrasound education.

SonoSim vs. Animation-Based Simulators.

Animation-based ultrasound simulators rely upon converting artist drawings into simulated ultrasound imagery. This complex and expensive process results in the loss of vital image artifacts and pathologic findings critical to interpreting ultrasonography. SonoSim’s patented approach involves using real patients that have undergone ultrasound imaging for SonoSim® hands-on training. As a result, normal anatomy, ultrasound imaging artifacts, and pathologic findings are present for user learning. SonoSim provides a superior ultrasound training solution at a fraction of the cost of other commercial simulators.
