Understanding the Concept of Self‐Performed Ultrasound: A Scoping Review
Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.Self‐performed ultrasound is an emerging technology that facilitates adept self‐scans in untrained hands. Inspired by self‐performed imaging in space for more prompt diagnosis and therapy, it has the potential to accurately monitor chronic conditions remotely. However, the lack of supervision and physical restraints can hinder its usability.
