It is now generally accepted that diagnostic ultrasound may have a role in Medicine, independently of the technological level of a society, as well as of the geographical factors of influence on its pathology. This means that many countries require ultrasound equipment of low cost and a decision must be made as to what kind of ultrasound facilities to set up and how: a central ultrasound unit for general application or different specialized services in several hospital departments. Alternatively, it is suggested a combined action of the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, the ultrasound departments of highly developed countries, dealers and medical institutions of limited resources for the setting up of an ultrasound unit. This should be preceded by previous scientific training of medical staff of those institutions on the main diagnostic ultrasound applications, a survey of the potential users, a selection of the staff for the new service and continuous information. An outline of a proposal for that program is presented.
现在人们普遍认为，诊断超声在医学中可以发挥作用，这与一个社会的技术水平以及影响其病理学的地理因素无关。这意味着许多国家需要低成本的超声设备，并且必须决定建立何种类型的超声设施以及如何建立：一个用于一般用途的中央超声单元，还是在几个医院科室提供不同的专门服务。另外，有人建议世界医学与生物学超声联合会、发达国家的超声科室、经销商以及资源有限的医疗机构采取联合行动来建立一个超声单元。在此之前，这些机构的医务人员应先接受关于主要诊断超声应用的科学培训，对潜在用户进行调查，挑选新服务的工作人员并持续提供信息。本文提出了该计划的提案大纲。
