This scenario focuses on a case-based scrotal sonogram. Diagnostic Medical Sonographers must analyze complex cases and communicate findings appropriately and accurately to the interpreting physician. Sonographers are required to provide accurate and relevant answers to the clinical question as proposed on a request for a sonogram. In this Virtual Simulation on Scrotal Pathology, participants are immersed in a case-based scenario designed to enhance critical thinking and diagnostic decision-making skills. Participants investigate a case, where they gather a relevant patient history, analyze sonographic images, and propose s diagnostic impression.

Each stage of the simulation, from patient assessment to imaging analysis challenges participants to apply their knowledge by simulating real-life case. Participants will be provided a detailed review of their performance enabling them to strengthen their ability to effectively answer the clinical question as it relates to the scrotal sonogram. 

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

  1. Correlate results from multiple diagnostic sources to obtain a detailed history

  2. Employ spatial reasoning to determine sonographic findings in a scrotal sonogram

  3. Integrate knowledge of anatomy and disease processes.

  4. Propose findings based on evidence

Simulation Modality:

Virtual gaming simulation / virtual patient
