This video presents a haptic-based medical ultrasound diagnostic simulator that can be used as an ultrasound 
training tool for radiology residents as well as an examination system for remote applications. The proposed 
simulator consists of a PC workstation with dual monitors, a PHANToM robot haptic device and a modular software 
package that allows for visual feedback and kinesthetic interactions between the operator and multi-modality 
image databases. The video demonstrates an introductary motivation for the project, followed by the system 
description. It also shows different capabilities of the proposed system both as a training tool and as a 
remote examination system.
