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:

  • Anatomy of the Knee, including Ligaments, Joint Structures, Tendons, Muscles & Neurovascular Supply
  • Knee Kinematics
  • Sonographic Anatomy, including Anterior, Medial, Lateral & Posterior Knee Anatomy
  • Sonographic Techniques
  • Pearls & Pitfalls of Evaluating the Knee

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 4 real patient scanning cases in this module include and cover:

  • Patient Types: Adult Only, Male
  • Relevant Findings/Pathology: Normal Examples of Knee Anatomy
  • Transducer Types: Linear
  • Special Case Features: Compression

Continued Medical Education

This Knee: Anatomy & Physiology Module begins with an overview of the role of ultrasound in the evaluation of the knee. A brief overview of knee anatomy and physiology is provided. The sonographic anatomy of the knee is described in detail. Optimal transducer selection, patient positioning, imaging approaches, and techniques for sonographically evaluating the knee are discussed. The course concludes with imaging tips and pitfalls and a summary of salient teaching points.
