Summary

This project was aimed to develop an open-source low cost abdominal ultrasound training simulator to augment ultrasound training and do away with the necessity of hands-on sessions with patients. It could help in eliminating the limitations of training practices including classroom teaching supplemented by hands-on sessions on normal subjects and patients. The device was designed to simulate various ultrasound scenarios in real-time or near real-time.
