Stuart Gall, chief executive of MedaPhor, said: "ScanTrainer's unique ability to teach the core ultrasound examination skills, without the need for an ultrasound machine or a patient and with reduced involvement by a trainer, speeds up the learning process and enables the trainer to supervise a larger number of trainees.

"We believe the system has the potential to become the world's leading ultrasound training system."
