CAE and Blue Phantom Healthcare Products

Backed by 70 years of experience, CAE has the largest civil aviation training network in the world and is the training partner of choice of aviation professionals, airlines, business aviation operators, and aircraft manufacturers. Focusing on a flexible, virtual-to-live training solution spanning the entire life cycle of a professional pilot, CAE has become the leading aviation training partner.

After decades of success lowering the error rate amongst pilots, CAE saw a need for similar training and results in the healthcare industry. Much like their approach to aviation training, CAE Healthcare focuses on simulation-based training solutions and educational tools that help healthcare professionals provide safe, high quality patient care. With a broad array of products, CAE offers targeted training to hospitals, medical schools, emergency response teams, military branches and nursing, respiratory and allied health programs. Each CAE Healthcare product is developed in collaboration with clinicians and clinical educators whose aim is to ensure physiological accuracy and educational relevance.

About CAE Blue Phantom™

At the turn of the 21st century, the adoption of ultrasound was exploding. With the release of the first truly portable ultrasound systems, ultrasound, which had once been limited to radiologists, was now being used by a vast number of medical specialties from emergency medicine to anesthesiology. The demand for ultrasound training was high, but little was available. Sonographer Brian Keegan recognized the need for a reliable training tool and set off to develop the first ultrasound training model. After countless hours creating and testing different configurations in his garage, he finally hit the mark. The formula matched the acoustic properties of human tissue and worked perfectly with any ultrasound system.

The first ultrasound model to emerge from Keegan’s work was a small blue block with two internal vessels mimicking actual veins. This model inspired the name “Blue Phantom.” In 2012, CAE Healthcare acquired Blue Phantom to advance the improvement of simulation-based clinical training and the delivery of patient care globally. Today, Blue Phantom is a major producer of the most realistic and durable anatomical task trainers available.


What is a Phantom Ultrasound?

A Phantom Ultrasound is a specially designed object (often in the shape of a body part) that can be imaged using an ultrasound machine or device. The phantoms, also known as ultrasound training devices or ultrasound task trainers, include realistic anatomy and features within, like simulated veins or masses. Phantom Ultrasounds are used to train sonography (ultrasound) skills to help medical professionals become proficient in ultrasound imaging techniques. Sonography, or ultrasound training, is now used in many medical fields, including anesthesiology, critical care, emergency medicine, endocrinology, nephrology, obstetrics & gynecology, pulmonology, radiology, and surgery.


What is a Blue Phantom Ultrasound Trainer?

Blue Phantom, owned by CAE Healthcare, provides highly realistic ultrasound training devices – also known as ultrasound simulators, ultrasound task trainers or phantom ultrasounds. Blue Phantom training solutions assist clinicians in the acquisition and interpretation of sonographic images. Blue Phantom’s patented ultra-durable tissue is extremely realistic in ultrasound imaging characteristics and feels like real human tissue. CAE Blue Phantom offers a wide range of highly realistic ultrasound simulators including full torso ultrasound trainers, head/neck/upper torso trainers, IV arm ultrasound trainers, and much more.
