We have now provided you with a lot of theoretical background information, but the practical operation of the ultrasound equipment is just as important. The first practical skill the operator needs to have when he starts an ultrasound examination is a proper spatial visualisation ability.

Jordy van Zandwijk demonstrates how this skill can be trained in a simulation environment, and how flat ultrasound images should be interpreted and translated to the three-dimensional reality of the human body.
