Virtual Neonatal Echocardiographic Training System (VNETS): An Echocardiographic Simulator for Training Basic Transthoracic Echocardiography Skills in Neonates and Infants.

There is a great need for training in pediatric echocardiography. In addition to physicians being trained in pediatric cardiology and echocardiography technologists, neonatologist, pediatric intensivists, and other health care professionals may be interested in such training. Since, there is limited opportunity of training on live patients, echocardiographic simulators may be of help.
