Scan Coach FCU app
Scan Coach module for Focused Cardiac Ultrasound (FCU)
evaluation provides a protocol of standard ultrasound imaging
views and context-based reference materials to perform a
systematic evaluation of the heart.
During the exam, users will have access to a reference
ultrasound image of normal anatomy and examples of common
pathologies for each scan plane.
It provides 3D animations to help remind the user the
relationship of probe positioning with resulting ultrasound
images and annotated schematics for anatomical landmarks
help acquire desired views.
The steps overview page provides a checklist of views defined
by the protocol to track completion during the exam.
User instructions at the beginning of each step provide
information related to the specific view and can be deactivated if
not needed.
The protocol and images have been provided by Dr. William
Zoghbi, Houston Methodist.
NOTE: Read the app description and the Disclaimer before installing
the Scan Coach FCU protocol.
NOTE: * Applications under GE Marketplace are available as options
(not available in all geographies).
DISCLAIMER The Vscan Extend system includes a feature called Scan Coach
to assist the Ultrasound user with scanning and acquiring
images. Scan Coach is not meant to replace user training which
is required to obtain acceptable images. Scan Coach provides
reference material to guide image acquisition, but does not
identify diagnostic image quality. Actual images obtained by the
user of the device may vary versus the reference material
provided by Scan Coach. The Ultrasound user is solely
responsible to complete all necessary and customary training
prior to using the Ultrasound and for the actual image
acquisition, image interpretation, identification of anatomical
parts, anatomical measurements and clinical diagnosis.
