Diagnostic accuracy of a portable ultrasound device for genitourinary imaging in telemedicine

This cross-sectional study was conducted from 01 December 2022 to 30 July 2023 to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a low-cost portable ultrasound device with 80 elements (Sunbright SUN-P1) for imaging the genitourinary system. Participants were randomly selected from patients who presented to the hospital with symptoms suggestive of kidney, urinary bladder (UB), prostate, uterine, ovarian, or adnexal disorders. Additionally, the study included apparently healthy individuals referred for genitourinary ultrasonography as part of a routine health check-up. A total of 169 patients were included, with ages ranging from 15 to 76 years (mean ± SD: 34.5 ± 13.7 years). The findings were compared with measurements obtained from the same patients using a standard high-end ultrasound machine (Accuvix A30, 192 elements), which served as the reference standard. Data sheet used for statistical analysis is labeled as "GUS datasheet.xlsx" whereas the file containing the USG images is labeled as "GUS images".
