Ultrasound is an imaging modality that is highly operator dependent. This article reviews the challenges in learning how to perform obstetric sonography, as well as the processes necessary to acquire expert performance skills in sonography. Simulation-based education and learning, and the value of medical simulation are also discussed. Ultrasound simulators are an effective means of teaching obstetric sonography, because it provides training, deliberate practice, and performance evaluation/feedback which allows continuous and critical self-evaluation. We review evidence that simulation can improve performance in obstetric ultrasound examination, review current simulators, and discuss the current problems/gaps in ultrasound simulation. Optical positioning ultrasound simulation is a novel high-fidelity simulation learning system, which addresses many of these problems/gaps and is introduced for the first time here.
超声是一种高度依赖操作者的成像方式。本文回顾了学习如何进行产科超声检查所面临的挑战，以及获得超声专业技能所需的过程。还讨论了基于模拟的教育和学习以及医学模拟的价值。超声模拟器是教授产科超声的有效手段，因为它提供了培训、刻意练习和性能评估/反馈，从而允许持续和关键的自我评估。我们回顾了模拟可以提高产科超声检查性能的证据，回顾了当前的模拟器，并讨论了超声模拟中的当前问题/差距。光学定位超声模拟是一种新颖的高保真模拟学习系统，解决了许多这些问题/差距，并首次在此引入。
