The practice of telesonography has yielded promising results in several domestic and international projects aimed at providing basic sonography services. Common themes that recur within telesonography-based research include the quality of transmitted images, clinical applications, and technical and nontechnical barriers to implementation. The research base continues to grow in concert with expanding telecommunications capabilities and refinement of small portable sonographic devices. Persistent barriers to the deployment of telesonography systems include a lack of telecommunications access, a lack of standard training and operational protocols, and a paucity of research regarding the long-term health impact of telesonography within target communities. Telesonography may be used directly to improve the standard of care within a given community; however, limited resources and interest may prevent sustained operations. Future projects may use telesonography to supplement the training of health care providers in remote locations in an effort to establish permanent sonography services for their respective communities.
远程超声检查在多个国内外项目中得到了广泛应用，旨在提供基本的超声服务。基于远程超声检查的研究中反复出现的主题包括传输图像的质量、临床应用以及实施过程中的技术和非技术障碍。随着电信能力的不断扩大和小型便携式超声设备的不断完善，研究基础也在不断扩大。远程超声检查系统部署面临的持续障碍包括缺乏电信接入、缺乏标准的培训和操作协议，以及针对目标社区中远程超声检查的长期健康影响的研究不足。远程超声检查可以直接用于提高特定社区的护理标准；然而，有限的资源和兴趣可能会阻碍其持续运作。未来的项目可能会使用远程超声检查来补充远程医疗服务提供者的培训，努力为各自的社区建立永久性的超声服务。
