Abstract

This paper introduces the prototype of the computer program UltraTrainer, which could simplify the education and training of physicians working with medical ultrasound systems. The UltraTrainer replaces probe and patient by a magnetical tracking system and 3D-data from a real examination, which are registered with a phantom. In this way the UltraTrainer makes a simulation of the real ultrasound examination possible, which can be useful for students and physicians. This paper describes the system components and gives an overview of potential applications.
