Access to sonographers and sonologists is limited in many communities around the world. Telerobotic sonography (robotic ultrasound) is a new technology to increase access to sonography, providing sonographers and sonologists the ability to manipulate an ultrasound probe from a distant location and remotely perform ultrasound examinations. This narrative review discusses the development of telerobotic ultrasound systems, clinical studies evaluating the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of telerobotic sonography, and emerging use of telerobotic sonography in clinical settings. Telerobotic sonography provides an opportunity to provide real-time ultrasound examinations to underserviced rural and remote communities to increase equity in the delivery of diagnostic imaging.
