How do I access scanning cases in the SonoSimulator?

Learn How to Use the SonoSimulator

Your first step should be to take the 5-minute How to Use the SonoSimulator orientation. This should answer most of your questions and help you get started.

Download & Install the SonoSim Software

After finishing the orientation, you'll need to download and install the SonoSim scanning software.

Choose a Scanning Case

You will first be guided through Probe Setup, the Probe Tutorial (if you’re a first-time user), and Probe Calibration.

Once complete, you will be taken to the Case List. Select a topic > module > case of interest.

Selecting a Case in the Case List

Content will need to be downloaded before it can be accessed in the SonoSimulator. You can download an entire topic (as shown in the image) or individual modules.

If space on your computer is limited, we recommend downloading individual modules as needed.

Downloaded content will be blue (e.g., 'Abdomen' in the image), whereas non-downloaded content will be gray (e.g., 'Breast' in the image).
