CONTROLS

Move. Pause. Explore.

  1. Scan.

    Grab the probe or click near the scan area, then drag. You can grab it again at any boundary. Movement follows your mouse directly within the selected examination area. Release the mouse to stop immediately. Arrow keys make small adjustments.

  2. Change exam.

    Use the small menu to choose Gallbladder, Kidney, Urinary bladder, Abdominal aorta, Liver · hilar window Hepatic veins & IVC or Stomach. Each opens its own recorded example and scan window. The camera moves to the corresponding side. Changing exams resumes scanning and clears a pinned selection.

  3. Pause.

    Click Pause scan or press Space. Click Resume scanning or press Space again to continue.

  4. Explore.

    Hover over the image to highlight a structure. Click to keep it selected and pause the scan. Escape releases the mouse and clears the selection.

The probe stops at the selected scan window. The source recordings have no tracked probe coordinates: skin position illustrates a plausible region, not an exact slice location. Highlights cover selected inspected frames only. A complete clinical examination also requires transverse views.

CASE DATA

Recordings & sources

Ribs & pleura

Marini et al. (2022), “Volume sweep imaging lung teleultrasound for detection of COVID-19 in Peru: a multicentre pilot study”, supplementary video 2. CC BY-NC 4.0. Normal sagittal sweep from an asymptomatic seven-year-old. Selected original frames 160–255: 9.6 seconds, 96 frames at 10 fps. The source licence retains its noncommercial restriction. Publication was requested by the RadioVista site owner.

Adaptations: source-interface crop, proportionate resize, lossless frame pages, independent frame-specific teaching contours. The clearer central pleural window is marked; uncertain peripheral continuations are omitted. Shadows retain the original reviewed annotations. The adult model is an independent controller, not the source patient.

Original recordings

Gallbladder and left kidney are independent long-axis examples. The skin model and probe windows illustrate the general examination regions; they are not registered to these patients.

Stomach · normal empty stomach

Lior Abramson, Rebecca G. Theophanous, Brice Lefler, Lindsey Wu, Amber L. Bowman, Jacqueline K. Olive and Yuriy S. Bronshteyn. “Echoes from Within: Mapping Gastrointestinal Obstruction with Ultrasound” (2025), Supplementary Video S2. © 2025 the authors, CC BY 4.0.

One continuous left-upper-quadrant passage: 6.97 seconds, 209 original frames at 30 fps. Source presentation: 1920 × 1080; cropped video: 1608 × 1056. These dimensions do not establish native scanner resolution. The original article identifies an empty normal stomach. Moving the probe selects the original frames of the recorded fan. The skin path is illustrative and is not calibrated to this patient.

Changes: excerpt frames 155–363, crop empty presentation margins, proportionate resizing and manually reviewed teaching contours. Source teaching labels and arrows are hidden using opaque display masks. Small hatched patches over tissue are unavailable for anatomical inspection; no hidden tissue is reconstructed. Original video files and frame atlas pages are retained unchanged. No generated frames, interpolation of footage, joined segments or loop extension. Marked findings include visible splenic tissue, an early partial left kidney, the late gastric gas interface, acoustic shadow, a small dark splenic lumen and the source-identified lung artifact. Their contours are restricted to reviewed intervals; obscured anatomy is not outlined. These are teaching contours, not clinical segmentations.

Liver vessels · Suresult

Image adapted from Suresult (suresultmed.com), CC BY 4.0. © Suresult. Two independent clinical recordings: asset 0641 (hilar window) and asset 0644 (hepatic venous window), each with 100 original frames over 10 seconds. The original MP4 files and individual source metadata are retained locally.

Modifications: equipment-interface crop and outside-sector masking, proportionate resizing, local lossless frame pages and independent teaching overlays. No generated anatomy, interpolated video frames, loop extension or joined clips. Approximate contours follow the displayed source frame and are not clinically validated segmentations.

These are regional B-mode windows, not complete organ surveys or proof of normality. Uncertain hilar lumina retain general labels; no unconfirmed artery, bile duct or named hepatic-vein branch is assigned. The venous outflow region does not establish IVC diameter, collapse or filling pressure. The body model illustrates regional fanning and is not registered to either patient. The upper end of the hepatic-vein skin path lies close to the lower sternum; directed cranial beam tilt is not simulated.

Gallbladder · Long axis

“Gallbladder Ultrasound” by AhmedAlElg, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0. The downloaded 5.1-second source file is unchanged. The display crops the surrounding screen area; no synthetic frames, warping or generated ultrasound are used.

Original video and attribution ↗Local provenance and checksum ↗CC BY-SA 4.0 ↗

The visible clip includes movement through recorded views but no probe tracking or calibration. Its original label indicates LLD positioning. The supine male model is an independent interface, not this patient or the recorded acquisition pose. Exact skin-position-to-image correspondence is not established.

Filled overlays outline the visible gallbladder lumen in selected sections of this clip. They are manually drawn at keyframes and interpolated only within annotated intervals, under CC BY-SA 4.0. They have not been clinically validated and are not diagnostic segmentations.

Available examinations: gallbladder, kidney, urinary bladder, abdominal aorta, liver hilar window, hepatic veins / IVC and stomach.

Abdominal aorta · transverse sweep

Olivia Klee, Julia Buechler, Molly Fears, Caroline Gosser, Jeffery Baker and Kahra Nix, “Normal Anatomy Mimicking an Abdominal Aortic Dissection”, POCUS Journal 11(1), 2026, supplementary video S6. CC BY 4.0. This is a transverse sweep from the article’s normal-anatomy teaching cases, not a dissection case.

Original article, video S6 and licence ↗CC BY 4.0 ↗Provenance and changes ↗

310 original decoded frames over 5.38 seconds. Cropped equipment margins, uniform resize and lossless frame pages; no generated motion. Independent image-guided lumen contours within manually reviewed windows are available until 4.22 seconds. Additional IVC and SMA contours are restricted to their reviewed visible intervals. The distal bifurcation and both proximal common iliac lumina are annotated in reviewed end frames. Side assignment follows continuity through the transverse sweep and standard probe orientation. Contours are teaching aids, not clinical segmentations or measurements. Recording adaptations and annotations: CC BY 4.0.

Urinary bladder · suprapubic example

Ben Smith, “UOTW #1”, recording 2 (2014), CC BY-SA 4.0 via Wikimedia Commons. Source case: traumatic intraperitoneal bladder rupture with heterogeneous bladder contents. The selected excerpt is not a normal reference and does not by itself demonstrate the rupture site. The source does not explicitly label the acquisition plane.

Source case ↗Bladder provenance, interval and checksum ↗Bladder recording and adaptations · CC BY-SA 4.0 ↗

The original bladder recording is retained unchanged. All 173 source frames (0–6.88 seconds) are shown without generated motion. Its obscured middle section (after 1.2 and before 4.0 seconds) has no highlight. Approximate manual contours follow reviewed visible regions; they are not clinically validated segmentations.

Left kidney · Long axis

“Human Kidney Ultrasound Scan” by Ahmed, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 4.0. The original recording is retained unchanged. Its on-screen label reads “LT KIDNEY”. All 201 source frames are cropped and uniformly resized into a lossless image sheet. Dragging selects original frames; no motion or anatomy is generated. Audio is not used.

Original kidney recording ↗CC BY 4.0 ↗Kidney provenance and checksum ↗

The approximate whole-kidney outlines are hand traced throughout the source sweep, with interpolation between inspected keyframes from 0.007 to 6.707 seconds, CC BY 4.0. They are not clinically validated. This sample is not classified as normal or pathological.

Renal scanning reference · ACEP ↗

The opaque patient model is “Body Male – Realistic” by Dan Ulrich, from the Blender Human Base Meshes v1.4.1 bundle (CC0). The scan-derived surface is exported at subdivision level 2, preserving its original natural arm pose. No internal organs are displayed. This is a generic patient model, independent of the ultrasound recording. Three.js is MIT licensed.
