目前对超声评估的描述，包括使用术语“床旁超声”（POCUS），是不精确的，因为它们是基于用于获得图像的设备、获得图像的位置、获得图像的提供者或检查焦点的区别来预测的。这是令人困惑的，因为它没有考虑到更有意义的区别的基础上设置，全面性和完整性的评价。在这篇文章中，超声放射科医师协会和美国放射学超声委员会的成员阐明了超声景观的地图，根据设置，全面性和完整性将超声评价分为四个不同的类别。详细阐述了这一分类办法，包括关于如何确保全面性和完整性的重要说明。这一框架的实际影响，为未来的研究和报销模式的突出。
Current descriptions of ultrasound evaluations, including use of the term "point-of-care ultrasound" (POCUS), are imprecise because they are predicated on distinctions based on the device used to obtain images, the location where the images were obtained, the provider who obtained the images, or the focus of the examination. This is confusing because it does not account for more meaningful distinctions based on the setting, comprehensiveness, and completeness of the evaluation. In this article, the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound and the members of the American College of Radiology Ultrasound Commission articulate a map of the ultrasound landscape that divides sonographic evaluations into four distinct categories on the basis of setting, comprehensiveness, and completeness. Details of this classification scheme are elaborated, including important clarifications regarding what ensures comprehensiveness and completeness. Practical implications of this framework for future research and reimbursement paradigms are highlighted.
