Abstract

The democratization of ultrasound imaging refers to the process of making ultrasound technology more accessible. Traditionally, ultrasound imaging has been predominately used in specialized medical facilities by trained professionals. Advancements in technology and changes in the health-care landscape have inspired efforts to broaden the availability of ultrasound imaging to various settings such as remote and resource-limited areas. In this review, we highlight several key factors that have contributed to the ongoing democratization of ultrasound imaging, including portable and handheld devices, recent advancements in technology, and training and education. Examples of diagnostic point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) imaging used in emergency and critical care, gastroenterology, musculoskeletal applications, and other practices are provided for both human and veterinary medicine. Open challenges and the future of POCUS imaging are presented, including the emerging role of artificial intelligence in technology development.

人类和兽医超声诊断民主化的关键进展。

超声波成像的民主化指的是使超声波技术更加普及的过程。传统上，超声波成像主要在专业医疗机构中由训练有素的专业人员使用。技术的进步和医疗环境的变化促使人们努力将超声波成像技术推广到各种环境，如偏远地区和资源有限的地区。在这篇综述中，我们将重点介绍促使超声成像不断平民化的几个关键因素，包括便携式和手持式设备、最新的技术进步以及培训和教育。文中列举了在急诊和重症监护、胃肠病学、肌肉骨骼应用以及其他实践中使用的人类和兽医护理点超声诊断 (POCUS) 成像。此外，还介绍了 POCUS 成像技术面临的挑战和未来，包括人工智能在技术开发中的新兴作用。生物医学工程年度评论》第 26 卷的最终在线出版日期预计为 2024 年 5 月。修订后的预计日期请参见 http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
