ABSTRACT:
A soft organ demonstration aid, such as a heart demonstration aid, is provided for demonstrating ultrasound or surgical techniques. The aid comprises a plurality of facsimile soft organ portions having joining surfaces and connected together in correct anatomical positions along a plurality of dividing planes by means of interengaging connecting members, such as magnets for example, on the joining surfaces. When all the portions are joined together, the aid mimics a whole soft organ, such as a human heart. Furthermore the portions are capable of being dismantled relative to one another along each of the dividing planes, in order to demonstrate a respective internal view of the organ corresponding to each plane. Thus the aid may be used to demonstrate the relative positions of internal features of the organ such as may be observed in ultrasonic scanning along different cross-sections of an actual organ, the views simulating the corresponding views obtained during actual scanning.
