title: An Easy-to-Make, Low-Cost Ultrasound Phantom for Simulation Training in Abscess Identification and Aspiration.
abstract: We have created a low-cost and easy to make phantom for abscess identification using point-of-care ultrasound. The phantom also allows needle tracking and abscess aspiration using ultrasound guidance.
