Robotic Ultrasound Imaging: A Comprehensive Review of Historical Evolution, Current State-of-the-Art, and Future Perspectives
Ultrasound imaging is an indispensable diagnostic tool, yet its profound reliance on operator expertise inherently restricts its reproducibility and global accessibility. Robotic ultrasound systems (RUSS) have evolved over the past 2 decades to mitigate these limitations by mechanically decoupling the human operator from the patient. This comprehensive review examines the historical trajectory of medical ultrasonography and robotics, highlighting their convergence into modern RUSS. We detail the taxonomies of ro…
Robotic ultrasound systems improve reproducibility and global accessibility by decoupling the operator from the patient and using 5G telesonography to project diagnostic expertise.
Conventional ultrasound imaging's profound reliance on operator expertise restricts reproducibility and global accessibility.
Future clinical translation still depends on unresolved regulatory and ethical frameworks for intelligent robotic sonographers.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0898 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
