Artificial Intelligence Enables Nonexperts to Automatically Capture Lung Ultrasound Clips Containing B-Lines.
AI-guided training enables non-specialist doctors to perform diagnostic ultrasound for heart failure assessment, expanding access in underserved areas.
This study demonstrates that AI guidance enables non-expert clinicians to acquire diagnostic-quality lung ultrasound clips for B-line artifact quantification, effectively democratizing LUS-based assessment of pulmonary congestion. The technology is directly applicable to resource-limited settings, emergency care, and primary care expansion of point-of-care ultrasound.
