Abstract
Educators in ultrasound have found that many of their students learn best through visual, conceptual, and tactile experiences. The student's ability to apply acquired knowledge in a practical situation reinforces his or her understanding of the material presented. The integration of 3-dimensional concepts is introduced by drawing details of a specific material. Sonographic terminology is enhanced by playing Pictionary and actually scanning material objects. The understanding of imaging planes may be demonstrated with representative materials that simulate a body section. Creative stories, posters, and ultrasound equipment design enhance the student's understanding of specific ultrasound concepts.
