How it Works

Each SonoSim module contains:

  • A Didactic, Cloud-Based, Multimedia Course
  • Real-Time Knowledge Checks & a Mastery Test
  • A Series of Hands-On, Real Patient Scanning Cases Accessed with the SonoSimulator® Ultrasound Probe

The SonoSimulator Ultrasound Probe is a one-time purchase and is your access key to the SonoSim modules you license annually. License to each module is purchased in the first year, and maintained with an annual membership fee. Keep scanning and maintain all your member benefits, including annual access to all your modules, with your low annual membership fee of $295 (complimentary in your first year).

Course Highlights

SonoSim cloud-based, multimedia, didactic courses are created by leading ultrasound experts, and are internet accessible immediately after purchase, on any device. There are knowledge checks with real-time feedback throughout each course, as well as a Mastery Test that is automatically graded.

The course in this module covers topics including:

  • Cerebral Blood Supply
  • Cerebrovascular Physiology
  • Histophysiology
  • Cerebrovascular Sonographic Anatomy
  • Sonographic Techniques for scanning Carotid & Vertebral Arteries & the Internal Jugular Vein
  • Pearls & Pitfalls when Evaluating the Cerebrovascular System

SonoSimulator Scanning Cases

The SonoSimulator® helps develop and maintain the critical visuomotor and visuospatial skills that are central to image acquisition and interpretation with real patient imagery, expert tutorials on-demand, and real-time feedback on success.

The 5 real patient scanning cases in this module include and cover:

  • Patient Types: Adult Only, Male & Female
  • Relevant Findings/Pathology: Normal Examples of Cerebrovascular Anatomy
  • Doppler & Imaging Modes: Color-Flow Doppler, Pulsed-Wave Doppler
  • Transducer Types: Linear
  • Special Case Features: Additional Cerebrovascular MRA Imaging, Anatomic Layer Removal

Continued Medical Education

The Cerebrovascular: Anatomy & Physiology Module begins with an overview of the role of ultrasound in the evaluation of cerebral vasculature. A brief overview of the anatomy and physiology of the principal arteries and veins supplying the brain is provided. The sonographic anatomy and ultrasound imaging techniques used to identify and characterize vessels of interest are described in detail. Optimal transducer selection, patient positioning, imaging approaches, and the use of Doppler adjuncts for sonographically evaluating the cerebral vasculature are discussed. The course concludes with imaging tips and pitfalls and a summary of salient teaching points.

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American College of Emergency Physicians, the Illinois College of Emergency Physicians, and SonoSim, Inc. The American College of Emergency Physicians is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The American College of Emergency Physicians designates this enduring material for a maximum of 3 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Approved by the American College of Emergency Physicians for a maximum of 3 hours of ACEP Category I credit.
