Main points: Curvilinear probes provide deeper penetration, wider field of view, and better contact with curved abdominal surfaces. Mastering curvilinear scanning requires specific techniques for optimizing images and handling the probe properly. SimuGel™ training materials offer realistic practice opportunities to develop essential scanning skills. Curvilinear ultrasound probes are the preferred choice for abdominal scanning because […]
Ultrasound training often runs on tight schedules with limited patient access. Building consistent skills in probe control, needle alignment, and depth perception can be difficult. Ultrasound phantom models are lifelike training tools that mimic how tissue looks on ultrasound and how it feels to the hand and needle. They make practice safe, repeatable, and […]
From the joy of a first prenatal image to the decisive clarity of an emergency diagnosis, ultrasound remains one of healthcare’s most versatile and trusted tools. It transforms unseen anatomy into real-time images, enabling clinicians to act with precision and confidence. The ultrasound probe may appear as a simple handheld device, yet it houses […]
You’ve set up the ultrasound machine, the gel is ready, and your learner picks up the probe—only to scan the wrong plane or miss the anatomy entirely. It’s not a lack of effort. It’s often the wrong probe for the job. In ultrasound education, understanding the difference between a curvilinear probe and a linear […]
