Anatomy simulation module

for ultrasound imagingfemaleweb-based

This module teaches you how to prepare for and perform an ultrasound examination of the female reproductive system. The interactive simulator provides three different scenarios to test your ability to perform this type of scan. Online simulations enable students and practitioners to build or refresh knowledge and cognitive skills, and offer a safe practice environment so you can prepare for the real clinical world. You can also use simulations to try out procedures that you might not otherwise experience. This module is ideal if you are studying for the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) registry exams. Describe and demonstrate the protocol for sonographic scanning of the female pelvis, including transabdominal and endovaginal scanning. Identify and explain the anatomy and physiology of the female pelvis on diagrams and sonograms. Describe and demonstrate Doppler evaluation of the female pelvis, including uterus and ovaries. Identify on images, common abnormalities and pathologies of the uterus and adnexa, including fallopian tubes, ovaries, and the appearance and locations of the various types of intrauterine contraceptive devices. Describe the sonographic evaluation and follow-up of the infertile patient. Describe the interventional and post-operative uses of ultrasound. Differentiate the sonographic appearances of the female reproductive organs in relation to the menstrual cycle, the use of contraceptives and hormone replacement, and following chemotherapy.
