ULTRASOUND IMAGING FOR SPACE HEALTHCARE

In the context of long-distance space travel, managing medical conditions presents unique challenges due to communication delays. Consequently, onboard physicians must possess proficiency in diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, which has demonstrated its efficacy in Space. However, there is a notable lack of comprehensive discussion regarding its effectiveness in handling medical scenarios in Space. This bibliometric and systematic review aims to provide an updated analysis of the evidence supporting the role of ultrasound imaging in diagnosing medical conditions within microgravity environments.
