CAE VIMEDIX™ Ultrasound Simulator
Mastering ultrasonographic assessment of the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities
Using the CAE VIMEDIX, learners will discover the full potential of ultrasound assessment. With real-time interactive capabilities and access to a variety of cases and pathologies, learners will be able to recognize a wide spectrum of conditions before they touch their first patient.
Unlike other echocardiography simulators, the CAE VIMEDIX simulator features a customizable, animated 3D display, which is presented in real-time on a split screen next to the corresponding 2D ultrasound image. This dramatically enriches the learning experience, and speeds uptake and retention of ultrasound training.
Why Train Ultrasound Technique with CAE VIMEDIX?
The CAE VIMEDIX high-fidelity ultrasound simulator will equip learners with a full understanding of bedside ultrasound use and a battery of skills.

Using real-time dynamic imaging and a custom-designed mannequin, the CAE VIMEDIX echocardiography simulator, provides healthcare professionals with an unparalleled training environment for the thoracic cavity and basic to complex cardiac pathologies. Learners can perform a realistic echo assessment of cardiac structures, practice hand-eye coordination and probe handling, and improve pathology recognition skills.
The 3D animated heart can be independently cut and rotated, rib and lung artefacts can be toggled on/off. Images can be adjusted with EKG tracing, gain and contrast settings, depth of field, as well as calliper and area measurements. The software also allows the handler to perform rib acoustic shadowing, lung artefacts, reverberations and other realistic imaging features.
