Recreating a pneumothorax injury in the phantom. (A) Diagram of the mechanism used to simulate a breathing lung in US for the tissue phantom. (B) Baseline or normal (“seashore” sign) M-mode US images collected with the breathing lung mechanism in the phantom. (C) PTX positive (“barcode” sign) M-mode US images acquired with the tissue phantom. Representative US images shown in the figure were captured by Sonosite PX. Commercial eFAST simulator human US scans for (D) baseline and (E) PTX injury.
