1. Apparatus for simulation of a non-invasive medical examination of organs, comprising:
- a mannikin (1) representing at least part of a human body, said mannikin (1) including a plurality of sensors;
signal generator means (4) for generating signals representative of a given physiological or physiopathological condition;
a system unit (2) controlling said signal generator means (4) in response to activation of said sensors;
scanning means (5) for scanning said mannikin, said scanning means for controlling operation of said signal generator means (4), characterized in that said scanning means (15) is a probe having an alignment plane;
said sensors are arranged in a plurality of groups, each group includes at least two of said sensors located on a respective common line, and a group of sensors is activated by said probe when the alignment plane of the probe contains a respective common line of that group.

Abstract
The apparatus includes a probe that has an area of linear contact with the skin of a mannequin along a longitudinal axis. The mannequin includes means for activation of a group of at least two sensors by the probe. The invention provides for at least two probe orientations. The apparatus further allows one to visualize deep organs with images of real clinical cases that are stored in a audio-visual memory.
