Using Target Cut Planes

Target cut planes (TCP) are reference views that learners can use to mimic correct probe positioning. 
Instructors can select a pre-existing TCP or create a new TCP on any case.

The Target Cut Plane Screen Features

When a TCP is loaded, two additional displays appear: the mannequin placement display and the 
reference ultrasound image display.

The Mannequin Placement and Reference Ultrasound Image Displays

The Ultrasound
