Outline

This adult male torso (head to mid-thigh) is a realistic and anatomically correct phantom excellent for training users to develop and practice the skills necessary to perform FAST exam ultrasound procedures.

Skills Gained

· Familiarity with chest, abdomen & pelvis underlying anatomy

· Ultrasound image interpretation

· Recognition of various pathologies using ultrasound

· Handling ultrasound machine & different transducers

· Palpation & various centeses

Features

· Anatomy:

1)     Lifelike feel and touch with soft abdomen.

2)     Internal simulated human skeleton structures like ribs, sternum, pelvis, etc.

3)     Correct chest & abdomen anatomical structures like heart, lungs, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach, spleen, kidneys, intestinal canals, bladder, etc.

· Realism:

1)     The model is made of high polymer material which can be used with real clinical ultrasound machines of various types and brands.

2)     Real anatomical and pathological ultrasound images.

· Versatility: Bleeding in the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavity can be simulated. When internal bleeding happens, ultrasound check will show no echo liquid dark areas and simulated blood can be drawn. 

· Key Features:

1)     Chest ultrasound functions

A．The product can simulate pleural effusion, such as pericardial effusion and show related costophrenic angle as well as liquid dark area. The amount of pleural effusion can be changed by adjusting injected fluid volume.  

B．Ultrasound anatomical structures include heart with left ventricle, right ventricle, left atrium, right atrium, cardiac valves, etc.

C．Standard sub-xiphoid four-chamber cardiac view is available. Support separate display of ventricle, atrium, mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve, pulmonary valve, pulmonary artery, aorta and other structures. 

D．Realistic right lung structure allows for using the probe long-axis to scan along the  parasternal line, anterior axillary line, mid-axillary, posterior axillary line and the outer edge line of scapula. Users can also do short-axis scanning for ultrasound images of organs, pleural line, ribs and sternum.

2)     Abdominal ultrasound functions

A. Bony landmarks include costal margin, xiphoid, anterior superior iliac spine, etc.

B. Scan the hepatorenal space and splenorenal space to check if ascites exits. No echo if there is abdominal effusion. The amount of ascites can be changed by adjusting injected fluid volume.

C. Various pathologies and anatomical ultrasound images available, like Glisson's capsule, liver parenchyma, hepatic veins, pancreatic parenchyma, pancreatic duct, splenic capsule, parenchyma of the spleen, renal capsule, renal cortex, renal medullary, renal pelvis, renal calyx, etc.

D. A full bladder in the abdominal cavity will show pelvic ultrasound features as well as liquid dark area of pelvic effusion.
