This invention provides a system and method for constructing and implementing an interactive virtual visualization system suitable for training and assisting an ultrasound operator to acquire useful images using a handheld transducer. The system requires an actual ultrasound machine complete with image display, controls and ultrasound transducer. As a direct result, skills obtained on the machine while in training mode do not have to be reacquired on a different machine in order for the operator to transit to live subjects. This also implies that the same machine may be used for refresher training. Two embodiments of the invention are presented, one in which the interactive virtualization system appears outboard to the ultrasound machine, the other in which the virtualization systems is embedded directed within the ultrasound machine.
