Inspired by self\u2010performed imaging in space for more prompt diagnosis and therapy, it has the potential to accurately monitor chronic conditions remotely. However, the lack of supervision and physical restraints can hinder its usability. This scoping review was guided by the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the PRISMA\u2010ScR checklist. Six databases and two grey literature platforms were searched. There were no restrictions on publication year or country, provided that there was full\u2010text and English language availability. Twenty\u2010six studies were included, examining various domains predominantly in home settings. Self\u2010performed ultrasounds can be acquired independently (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200913) or via teleguidance support (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200910) using numerous vendors and be electronically transmitted for interpretation. Independently performed and teleguided scans demonstrated at least 70 and 85% accuracy, respectively, whereby novice and expert\u2010obtained images had non\u2010inferior quality. Application logistics like device malfunctions, delayed intervention due to concealed pathologies in untrained hands, mobility restraints, participant proficiency, and low\u2010resolution equipment that could hinder applicability had conflicting observations. Some could be resolved adequately, allowing completion of self\u2010performed exams while some factors remained persistent hurdles. Acceptance of the technology was unanimous and widespread where participants appreciated the versatility and flexibility it offers. Self\u2010performed ultrasound has the potential to generate competitive image quality for novice acquired scans across various domains even with limited training or education. However, the absence of a standardized training program and safety protocols warrants further research to validate the feasibility and accessibility of self\u2010performed ultrasound.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jum.70446","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,19]],"date-time":"2026-09-19T08:01:23Z","timestamp":1789804883000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Understanding the Concept of Self\u2010Performed Ultrasound: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"given":"Vy","family":"Do","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Allied Health and Human Performance, College of Health Adelaide University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anson","family":"Chau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, Department of Diagnostic Radiology University of Hong Kong (HKU Med)  Pok Fu Lam Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7328-6677","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elio","family":"Arruzza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Allied Health and Human Performance, College of Health Adelaide University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0069-1932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nayana","family":"Parange","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Allied Health and Human Performance, College of Health Adelaide University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12112884","article-title":"Patient self\u2010performed point\u2010of\u2010care ultrasound: using communication technologies to empower patient self\u2010care","volume":"12","author":"Kirkpatrick A","year":"2022","journal-title":"Diagnostics"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"885","DOI":"10.1097\/01.TA.0000162456.37962.01","article-title":"Ocular examination for trauma; clinical ultrasound aboard the International Space Station","volume":"58","author":"Chiao L","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Trauma Acute Care Surg"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"20461","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-24513-x","article-title":"Novice\u2010performed point\u2010of\u2010care ultrasound for home\u2010based imaging","volume":"12","author":"Duggan NM","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sci Rep"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"605","DOI":"10.2147\/JMDH.S359084","article-title":"Potential for use of portable ultrasound devices in rural and remote settings in Australia and other developed countries: a systematic review","volume":"15","author":"Shaddock L","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Multidiscip Healthc"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1089\/tmj.2020.0541","article-title":"Mobile self\u2010operated home ultrasound system for remote fetal assessment during pregnancy","volume":"28","author":"Hadar E","year":"2022","journal-title":"Telemed J E Health"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","unstructured":"Pulsenmore.Next Generation Prenatal Care.2015.
