GynoS

Gynaecological Ultrasound Training Simulation

GynoS

Realistic simulation for obstetrics and gynaecology ultrasound training

GynoS is a high-fidelity gynaecological ultrasound training simulator designed to support structured, competency-based education in transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound. Developed by VirtaMed and distributed by Phantasim, GynoS enables trainees to develop essential ultrasound scanning skills in a safe, controlled simulation environment.

The simulator combines anatomically accurate female pelvic models with realistic ultrasound image generation to replicate real-world gynaecological scanning conditions. Trainees practise probe handling, image optimisation, anatomical orientation, and systematic examination techniques while receiving objective, performance-based feedback.

With a comprehensive library of normal and pathological cases, GynoS supports training programs in standardising ultrasound education, improving diagnostic confidence, and accelerating skill acquisition without reliance on patients or live clinical exposure.

Features

GynoS is a high-fidelity gynaecological ultrasound training simulator designed to support structured, competency-based education in pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound. The system combines anatomically accurate female pelvic models with real-time ultrasound image generation, enabling trainees to practise probe handling, image optimisation, anatomical orientation, and pathology recognition in a safe, controlled environment. Objective performance metrics and guided learning pathways allow educators to standardise training, assess competency, and accelerate skill acquisition across a wide range of gynaecological ultrasound examinations and interventions.

Core Skills Development

• Practice fundamental gynaecological skills including instrument handling, visual navigation, and tissue manipulation
• Progressive task complexity to support trainees at all skill levels
• Objective performance feedback to guide targeted improvement

Realistic Procedural Simulation

• Anatomically accurate virtual models with realistic tissue behaviour
• Simulation of diagnostic procedures and operative workflows
• Supports clinical scenarios including hysteroscopy and basic laparoscopic gynaecologic tasks

Clinical Scenarios & Pathology

• Training scenarios covering uterus, ovaries, adnexa, and pelvic floor anatomy
• Identification and assessment of common gynaecological conditions and abnormalities
• Measurement tasks and diagnostic decision-making aligned with clinical practice

Education & Assessment

• Structured learning modules designed for residency and specialist training programs
• Objective metrics for image quality, probe movement, and diagnostic accuracy
• Supports standardised teaching, assessment, and competency-based progression

A Virtual Demo

Experience the full capability of your simulation unit with a virtual demo. The unit manufacturers, Surgical Science, will host your virtual demo whilst our team organise everything for you including scheduling, reminders, and follow-up aftercare.

Modules Library

Modules and clinical cases are continuously developed in collaboration with medical experts to serve the growing demand for ultrasound training in various clinical specialties.

Advanced Gynaecological Ultrasound Training

GynoS provides realistic hands-on training for gynaecological ultrasound examinations, supporting learners from early skill acquisition through to advanced diagnostic assessment. The simulator combines anatomically accurate pelvic models with high-quality ultrasound image simulation to replicate real-world scanning conditions.

Trainees practise probe handling, image optimisation, anatomical recognition, and systematic examination workflows across a wide range of normal and pathological cases. Objective performance metrics and guided feedback support consistent skill development and standardisation of ultrasound training programs.

We have been very interested in improving patient care through learning and essentially rehearsing the procedures before we treat the patients.

Using advanced simulation techniques similar to what pilots use, we are able to take patient specific information and rehearse the procedure before we actually perform the real procedure.

Simulators will have a place in the future to plan a procedure.

They are not only for training. They allow us to look at the anatomy and try devices before we actually start the procedure.

I remember my days as a new intern….the first cases I performed were very difficult and it was a scary experience, since it takes between 10-20 procedures until you really feel that you are proficient.

With today’s technological advances we have the ability to train doctors on full procedures using medical simulators as advanced as the Simbionix ANGIO Mentor, prior to having them perform on live patients. By providing this opportunity, the learning curve is significantly shortened and trainees gain confidence before they approach their first cases.

I want to emphatically state that simulated laparoscopic training with LapSim should be a cornerstone of surgeon training and absolutely contributes to patient safety.

In the last 25 years, I have organized about 50 courses in practical surgery for residents and specialists in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In the courses involving laparoscopy, LapSim has been used to a significant extent for training and evaluation. With the extensive scientific documentation available, and based on my many years of experience with LapSim, I want to emphatically state that simulated laparoscopic training with LapSim should be a cornerstone of surgeon training and absolutely contributes to patient safety.
