Ultrasound Pocket Book: Student Edition

imagine — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 13:56:27 +0000

The Ultrasound pocket book/ Student Edition is far and above the most concise, targeted reference source to enable the students, residents, novice and advanced ultrasound users to incorporate point of care ultrasound into their practice. This book effectively teams internationally recognized sonologists with NASA researchers developing just in time ultrasound training methods for astronauts on the International Space Station, to provide a rapid ultrasound diagnostic and procedural guide. The comprehensive sections included in this book cover the ever expanding array of clinical indications for non-radiologist performed ultrasound and provide a novel addition to this field.

Phantom Ultrasound Models

imagine — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 17:23:46 +0000

Basic Phantom model ($75)

This model allows the operator to learn the effect of changing basic settings on the ultrasound machine (depth, gain, focal zone, TGC, presets) on image quality. A cylindrical acoustically dense material is contained in the mid portion of the gel to allow the user to visualize the effects of short and long axis probe positions on image acquisition to appreciate the 3 dimensional value of ultrasound.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Normal Bone ($99)

This model allows the operator to gain basic ultrasound skeletal anatomy skills. A portion of an ulnar bone model is included in the mid portion of the gel to allow the user to increase their knowledge of the acoustic properties of a normal bone.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Minimally displaced Fracture ($110)

This model allows the operator to gain more advanced musculoskeletal ultrasound skills. A portion of a long bone model with a minimally displaced, mid-shaft fracture is included to allow the user to recognize the ultrasound characteristics of a fractured bone and to use ultrasound guided needle placement for anesthetic injection.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Fracture with bony fragments ($125)

This model allows the operator to gain advanced musculoskeletal ultrasound skills. A portion of a long bone model with multiple fracture elements is included in the mid portion of the gel to allow the user to recognize and describe the ultrasound characteristics of a complex fracture with multiple bony fragments and to use ultrasound guided needle placement for anesthetic injection.

Ultrasound Foreign Body Detection ($125)

This model allows the operator to gain advanced ultrasound skills to recognize and localize foreign bodies in soft tissues. Wood, metal and glass foreign bodies are placed in varying locations in the gel model to allow the operator to localize the elements and learn the acoustic characteristics of varying foreign bodies. This model also allows the operator to learn clinically relevant, ultrasound localization techniques such as external marking and needle localization.

Ultrasound Intravenous Access ($140)

This model allows the operator to gain the skills necessary for ultrasound guided venous access. A fluid filled “vein” runs through the mid portion of the gel model. External connectors can be used to fill this conduit for numerous applications. This model allows the user to perform short and long axis visualization of the vein, and ultrasonic guidance of a needle to cannulate the vein.

Breast model ($125)

The breast phantom allows the user to practice imaging and procedural skills in this lifelike model. The model is composed of a durable gel material which has acoustic properties similar to human tissue and contains breast cysts and hyper-echoic tissue representative of a tumor. Needle localization and aspiration skills can be performed with this high fidelity model.

Breast with nipple model ($140)

The breast phantom allows the user to practice imaging and procedural skills in this lifelike model which contains a nipple/areolar complex. The model is composed of a durable gel material which has acoustic properties similar to human tissue and contains breast cysts and hyper-echoic tissue representative of a tumor. Needle localization and aspiration skills can be performed with this high fidelity model.

Soft tissue model ($125)

The soft tissue phantom is composed of durable gel which has acoustic properties similar to human tissue. The model contains cystic and hyper-echoic areas for imaging and procedural skills. The self-sealing cysts can be aspirated and refilled with a needle for repeated applications.

Custom Ultrasound models (Call for pricing)

We have constructed a number of custom ultrasound models to simulate unique clinical conditions. We have developed musculoskeletal ultrasound models for many anatomic areas (hand, cervical spine, elbow, knee) and can develop new models based on clinical necessity.

Invasive Line: Pokes and Prods

imagine — Fri, 28 May 2010 16:59:24 +0000

The Pokes and Prods CD Rom consists of multimedia software to promote procedural education and safety based on NASA research. This program has become the safety standard at many large health care institutions including Henry Ford Health System and Christiana Health Care for procedural pre-simulation education, and can be an essential part of credentialing residents and new faculty in central venous access.

The program describes incorporates current, evidence based literature to describe optimal site selection, and the indications for invasive line insertion. Patient safety is highlighted in the guide and appropriate preparations are described prior to insertion of the line. Step by step instructions are provided with or without ultrasound guidance to optimize safe catheter insertion. Catheter management and removal are also covered to reduce the risk of complications from invasive lines.

Pricing: Individual $99

Healthy Living Kiosk

imagine — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:21:44 +0000

The Healthy Living Kiosk offers a dynamic, interactive tool in community partnership for health. Whether the community includes business employees, a religious congregation or a school district of teachers and students, the Healthy Living Kiosk is designed to make individuals and the community healthier.

While there is still a long way to go toward consensus on how to deal with issues like the aging of our population and the obesity epidemic, there is substantial agreement on at least one approach. We must shift our emphasis from treatment services to a focus on health and wellness. Unfortunately, many people are unable or unsure how to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Your Pathway to Healthy Living was designed to address this issue; to promote healthy lifestyles, while providing individuals with information on wide a variety of wellness related issues.

The ICU Ultrasound pocket book is far and above the most concise, targeted reference source to enable the novice or advanced emergency or ICU clinician to incorporate point of care ultrasound into their practice. This book effectively teams internationally recognized sonologists with NASA researchers developing just in time ultrasound training meth- ods for astronauts on the International Space Station, to provide a rapid ultrasound diagnostic and procedural guide for the ICU. The comprehensive sections included in this book cover the ever expanding array of clinical indications for non-radiologist performed ultrasound and provide a novel addition to this field. Scott A.
