| Abstract: | Expert- and remote-guided ultrasound has played a key role in evaluating the effects of spaceflight on human health for over 50years. Ultrasound is used to monitor multisystem function ranging from ocular health to muscle size during spaceflight. Additional research in artificial intelligence (AI) for ultrasound acquisition and analysis is needed to ensure the health of safety of astronauts on exploration class missions, such as those from Earth to Mars. This chapter reviews the evolution of spaceflight ultrasound, the application of ultrasound to monitor astronaut health during spaceflight, and the potential role of ultrasound in the emerging epoch of precision medicine and AI. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
