Novel Three-Dimensional Printed Simulators for Ultrasound-Guided Prenatal Diagnostic Procedures.
Amniocentesis and chorionic villous sampling (CVS) are essential ultrasound-guided diagnostic procedures in modern obstetrics, but their declining frequency poses challenges for clinician training. We present novel 3-dimensional (3D)-printed simulators designed to train practitioners in performing these procedures under ultrasound guidance. Our models combine 3D-printed components with medical gelatin to mimic the abdomen and pelvis of a pregnant patient. Customizable inserts enable realistic simulated needle targeting practice. This standardized, reproducible, and realistic training tool offers a valuable resource for improving ultrasound-guided procedural skills.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine (JUM) is dedicated to the rapid, accurate publication of original articles dealing with all aspects of medical ultrasound, particularly its direct application to patient care but also relevant basic science, advances in instrumentation, and biological effects. The journal is an official publication of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and publishes articles in a variety of categories, including Original Research papers, Review Articles, Pictorial Essays, Technical Innovations, Case Series, Letters to the Editor, and more, from an international bevy of countries in a continual effort to showcase and promote advances in the ultrasound community.
