The simulation-based module includes real patient cases and focuses on image acquisition, interpretation, and clinical decision-making in breast imaging.
SonoSim Inc announced the launch of its Introduction to Breast Ultrasound Clinical Training module, the first in a planned three-part series focused on breast imaging education.
As demand for breast cancer detection and diagnostic evaluation increases, the module is designed to support training in image acquisition, interpretation, and clinical decision-making in breast ultrasound.
The Introduction to Breast Ultrasound module includes six SonoSimulator scanning cases based on real patient data. These cases represent a range of breast anatomy and physiologic variation, allowing users to practice simulation-based scanning.
The training covers acquisition of imaging windows for breast screening and identification of normal anatomic and physiologic findings, including dense fibrous breast tissue, axillary lymph nodes, cysts and fluid-filled lactiferous ducts, and post-menopausal breast anatomy.
“Breast ultrasound is a critical skill for health professionals involved in diagnostic imaging and women’s health,” said Nicole Sobolewski. “We aligned this training with the 2025 update of the ACR BI-RADS Atlas, the first major update in more than a decade. This ensures that learners train using current clinical terminology, lesion descriptors, risk-stratification approaches, and management guidelines used in modern breast imaging.”
The module also includes scanning guides with instructional videos and transcripts demonstrating probe positioning and scanning techniques on a virtual patient.
Each module follows a competency-based framework combining didactic instruction, knowledge assessments, simulator-based exercises, and performance tracking.
The Introduction to Breast Ultrasound Clinical Training module is available through SonoSim’s ultrasound training platform.
