20090162820Educational Simulator for Trasesophageal Echocardiography - An educational simulator for transesophageal echocardiography device, which includes a human phantom patterned after a human upper body having a neck, an esophagus and a stomach which communicate with each other, and a heart, a dummy probe which is patterned after a genuine ultrasonic probe and of which the tip is embedded with a magnet, a sensor which detects the insertion length and rotation angle of the dummy probe and is placed in the said neck, magnetic sensors which sense the magnetism of the said magnet, a three-dimensional image data archive which stores three-dimensional image data of echocardiography, a CPU which calculates the position, inclination and direction of the dummy probe on the basis of information from each said sensor and clips tomographic image data from the three-dimensional image data on the basis of the calculation, and a display section which shows the clipped tomographic image data as two-dimensional images.06-25-2009
20090130642Educational Simulator for Transthoracic Echocardiography - The present invention relates to a simulation device for ultrasonic diagnosis targeting a heart and its object is to provide an educational simulator for transthoracic echocardiography which can run simulations in a feeling like actual ultrasonic diagnosis. The educational simulator for transthoracic echocardiography is composed of a chest phantom with position sensors embedded at prescribed positions beneath the chest surface, a dummy probe in which a magnet is embedded and which is provided with an inclination sensor placed in the acral part, a memory section which stores three-dimensional image data of echocardiography, a CPU which calculates the position, inclination and pressing force of the dummy probe on the basis of information from each said sensor and clips two-dimensional image data from the three-dimensional image data on the basis of the calculation, and a display section which shows the clipped two-dimensional data.05-21-2009
