ABSTRACT:
A system useful echographic examination simulation and training includes an ultrasonic echograph (31) equipped with a TV monitor (32), a 3D probe (33) for analyzing a subject, acquisition means (39), a memory card (42) storing the detected acoustic lines and a workstation (34) with central processing unit (35) and 3D echography memory (38). For reading the latter memory (38), the system includes a viewing device including a dummy (56) simulating the subject, and a 3D orientation sensor (52) connected to the workstation via a 3D coordinate indicator (54) and display means (29) of the workstation, which make the sectional plane which the sensor defines on the dummy correspond to the equivalent plane contained in the form of voxels in the echography memory (38), and display this plane on the screen of the TV monitor (32).
