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:

  • Indications for Ophthalmic Ultrasound
  • Ocular Trauma
  • Ocular Anatomy
  • Sonographic Appearance of Ocular Anatomy
  • Sonographic Technique for Scanning the Ocular System
  • Optic Nerve Sonographic Evaluation
  • Retinal Detachment
  • Vitreous Detachment, Vitreous Hemorrhage

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

  • Patient Types: Adult Only, Male & Female
  • Relevant Findings/Pathology: Normal Ocular Cases, Vitreal Detachment Patients, Retinal Detachment Patients, Intraocular Foreign Body Case, Optic Nerve Sheath Swelling Patients, Central Retinal Vein Occlusion Patient
  • Doppler & Imaging Modes: Color Doppler
  • Transducer Types: Linear
  • Special Case Features: Anatomic Layer Removal

Continued Medical Education

Ocular ultrasound provides a solid alternative when ophthalmology consultation is absent in the emergency department, and it does not require care provider training on how to use specialized ophthalmologic equipment. Furthermore, ocular ultrasound enables an ocular exam in the setting of blepharedema and enables posterior segment examination despite hyphema, lens opacification, or posterior segment hemorrhage. The Ocular: Core Clinical Ultrasound Module begins with an introduction to ocular ultrasound and commonly agreed upon indications. A review of ocular anatomy and sonographic anatomy is presented. Sonographic techniques for evaluating the eye and orbit are discussed and include procedure preparation, transducer selection, and scanning technique. Sonographic evaluation of various ocular conditions is discussed in detail, including ocular trauma, vitreous detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal detachment. The course concludes with ultrasound imaging tips and pitfalls and a summary of salient teaching points. One learns the requisite cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills required to perform sonographic evaluation of the eye through 10 different hands-on simulation cases.

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 3.25 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 3.25 hours of ACEP Category I credit.
