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 & Physiology of the Spleen
  • Sonographic Anatomy of the Spleen and Associated Vasculature
  • Sonographic Techniques for Spleen Imaging
  • Pearls & Pitfalls when Evaluating the Spleen

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

  • Patient Types: Adult Only, Male & Female
  • Relevant Findings/Pathology: Normal Examples of Splenic Anatomy
  • Transducer Types: Curvilinear
  • Special Case Features: Additional Abdominal CT Imaging, Anatomic Layer Removal

Continued Medical Education

Ultrasound of the spleen has benefited from recent improvements in the image quality of modern ultrasound machines and is currently used by several specialties. The Spleen: Anatomy & Physiology Module begins with a review of splenic anatomy and physiology. The sonographic anatomy of the spleen is described in detail. Optimal transducer selection, patient positioning, imaging approaches, and techniques for sonographically evaluating the spleen 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 2 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 2 hours of ACEP Category I credit.
