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).
Downloading Content
Click on a case to open up the SonoSimulator. From there, you can begin scanning real-patient cases.
