  • Publication number: 20200118465
    Abstract: The skill of performing ultrasound is becoming a standard in medical education and clinical practice across a wide range of disciplines and clinical practices. Ultrasound is being used as a clinical tool by physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers. A major limitation to the broad incorporation of ultrasound is the lack of qualified users and instructors. Simple and effective methods to teach the many new learners of ultrasound scanning are needed. Presently disclosed subject matter uses a visible color laser beam originating from an ultrasound probe itself or from a laser light pointer attached to an ultrasound probe which can penetrate a clear-gel phantom. The laser light is aligned with the direction of flow of the invisible ultrasound waves so that the learner will know where the ultrasound waves are hitting the anatomical target within the phantom gel.
