Daylight sonography refers to the technique of using color-tinted, brightness and contrast-controlled B-mode ultrasound images optimized for well-lit environments. Originally introduced as Photopic ("Tageslichtsonographie", Daylight sonography) by Siemens, this approach addresses the limitations of grayscale imaging under ambient light conditions. With the growing emphasis on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and mobile diagnostics, daylight-compatible imaging modes such as Photopic Mode have become increasingly relevant since they are performed under daylight conditions. This paper explores the technical background, visual physiology, clinical applications, implementation challenges, and future perspectives of daylight sonography, advocating for broader use and standardization. Standardization, further clinical validation, and integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are essential to fully realize the potential of daylight sonography in routine practice.
日光超声检查是指利用针对光线充足环境优化的彩色、亮度和对比度可控的B型超声图像的技术。这种方法最初由西门子公司作为明视觉超声检查（“Tageslichtsonographie”，日光超声检查）引入，解决了环境光条件下灰度成像的局限性。随着对床旁超声检查（POCUS）和移动诊断的日益重视，像明视觉模式这样与日光兼容的成像模式在日光条件下进行检查时变得越来越重要。本文探讨了日光超声检查的技术背景、视觉生理学、临床应用、实施挑战和未来前景，主张更广泛地使用和标准化。标准化、进一步的临床验证以及与人工智能（AI）等新兴技术的整合对于在常规实践中充分发挥日光超声检查的潜力至关重要。
