### Medical Education
These tools aim to improve the quality and speed of the captured images. Thus, education in medical ultrasound can be expanded in remote areas if basic equipment (US machine, Internet, and telemedicine software) is available. As an example of the use of tele-ultrasound in medical teaching, a tele-didactic ultrasound course was designed by [PERSON] et al. [25] in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the end of classical classroom teaching, which was previously considered vital in ultrasound training. The purpose of the study was to determine if online ultrasound teaching was effective. It also aimed to identify a suitable evaluation approach for evaluating US skills from afar. This pilot study demonstrated the effectiveness of online lectures in \begin{table}
