Filed:

Sep 29, 2017

Appl. No.:

15/720695

Inventors:

- Columbia SC, US
Debra Krotish - Blythewood SC, US
Shaun Riffle - Swansea SC, US

International Classification:

A61B 8/00
A61B 8/08
A61B 17/34

Abstract:

In one aspect, the present subject matter is directed to a barrier device. The barrier device has a generally flat base with a width and a length. The base has a top portion and an opposite bottom portion. A surface of the bottom portion includes adhesive. A barrier extends upwardly from the base, the barrier having a generally flat first side and an opposite generally flat second side. A width between the first side of the barrier and the second side of the barrier is less than the width of the base.

International Classification:

G09B 23/28

US Classification:

434266

Abstract:

A system for performing audio-enhanced, simulated ultrasound examinations may generally include an ultrasound simulation device having at least one processor and associated memory. The memory may store pre-recorded audio-enhanced ultrasound data for at least one internal organ. The audio-enhanced ultrasound data may include a moving ultrasound image of the at least one internal organ along with synced audio data associated with auscultatory sounds generated by the at least one internal organ depicted within the moving ultrasound image. In addition, the system may include a display and a speaker coupled to the ultrasound simulation device. The display may be configured to display the moving ultrasound image as a trainee is performing the simulated ultrasound examination. The speaker may be configured to broadcast the synced audio data simultaneously with the display of the moving ultrasound image.

International Classification:

G09B 23/28

US Classification:

434272

Abstract:

A method for conducting ultrasonography training using ultrasound loop control may generally include providing for display a moving ultrasound image of an internal body part, wherein the moving ultrasound image is associated with an image frame loop including a plurality of individual image frames. The method may also include receiving an initial input from a user associated with stopping the moving ultrasound image at a current image frame of the image frame loop, receiving a second input associated with cycling forward or backwards through the image frame loop in order to provide additional image frames of the image frame loop for display to the user and receiving a third input associated with a submission of one of the image frames as a selected image frame.
