Practice virtual ultrasound scans of normal and abnormal heart models.
Better understand maneuvers with an ultrasound probe.
Reduce stress and panic upon detection of a congenital heart defect in your practice.
Understand the features of CHD’s and train to detect these anomalies faster during the prenatal examination.
Read, or opt to listen to, a verbal description accompaning each heart defect describing the characteristics of, incidence and detection percentages of each.
We believe that practice is one of the most important elements of the learning process – that is why we are incorporating quizzes and challenges to allow you to test your newly acquired skills and knowledge.
And if it is too early for you to take a quiz– there are a lot of options to explore congenital heart defects before you test yourself – with or without baby’s movement, with adjustable speed of the fetal heart rate and with knobolody changes to improve image clarity.
During a virtual scan of any heart you can always go to 4D mode, which will show you the full anatomy behind the ultrasound image, along with Color Doppler and anatomical labels!
We are continuously working on new features. Many of them will be available as a free update to the application. We decided to share our current development roadmap on Trello. If you have a Trello account you can even vote which ones you think are the most important!
Because you are using an Oculus the space around you must be clear of objects that your hands can hit. The Oculus will promt you to create a space around you. We offer a small inflatable phantom in the shape of a pregnant belly to help you create a realistic scanning experience and give your arm a place to rest on.
However, you can also use the app on a home-made support (pillow, desk). Some of this will depend on your experience level with Oculus headset.
2. Learn how to use controllers
The app contains directions on using the hand-held controllers. Many of the buttons on the hand controllers are duplicated on the control panel in from of you so you may use whichever method that is most convenient for you.
We offer an additional adaptor for the hand controllers in the shape of an ultrasound transducer to create a more realistic scanning experience.
3. Explore Fetal Heart VR Functions
The virtual examination can be performed in the following modes: 2D, 4D, 2D + color Doppler angle dependent mapping, 3D + color Doppler angle dependent mapping.
During a virtual scan you can Freeze and use CINE, view labels of anatomical structures, control baby’s movement etc.
