Introduction of robot‐assisted obstetric ultrasound in rural Northern Norway
Robot-assisted obstetric ultrasound is a reliable alternative to traditional ultrasound for middle-risk pregnancies in rural areas, offering high diagnostic accuracy and patient satisfaction. Most women would agree to a robotic ultrasound scan examination again. The patients' experiences are thus in line with the Norwegian governments' intention to use technology to secure equality in health care in rural areas.
