3D Systems Releases New Neck Module

3D Systems has released the new Neck Module for U/S Mentor,which includes procedural tasks/clinical cases for diagnostic neck U/Sexamination training using a designated linear probe.

The module for the U/S Mentor provides hands-on training of neck ultrasound examination. It incorporates hands-on procedural tasks and virtual patient clinical cases, accompanied by comprehensive educational aids. It features a new designated linear probe, reverberation artifacts behind the trachea wall, and pulsation of common carotid arteries.

The tasks include self-guided step-by-step neck scanningprotocols (Thyroid and Advanced Measurements). Virtual patient cases willchallenge the learner to independently scan, recognize relevant structures,document and reach a diagnosis. The cases are aimed at training in technicaland clinical aspects of the examination.

Scenarios include varying diagnostic complexities and suchas a healthy patient, suspicious, benign and malignant thyroid nodule as wellas carotid artery stenosis and dissection.
