The app trains the most difficult part of learning ultrasound: understanding how probe position translates into the image. By directly linking probe movement, anatomy, and ultrasound appearance, users develop an intuitive spatial understanding of ultrasound. Move a virtual ultrasound probe across a realistic 3D human body and watch the ultrasound image update in real time. Reveal the anatomy beneath the skin and see how organ position creates the ultrasound view.
