    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Shortness of breath is a common emergency department presentation.
    • Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) aids diagnosis, particularly via B-line assessment.
    • Objective quantification of B-lines is challenging for clinicians.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) algorithm for quantifying B-lines in lung ultrasound.
    • To assess the DL algorithm's performance against expert human interpretation.

    Main Methods:

    • A deep convolutional neural network was trained and tested on 400 lung ultrasound clips from emergency department patients.
    • The DL algorithm's B-line presence (binary) and severity (0-4 scale) classifications were compared to expert reads.

    Main Results:

    • The DL algorithm achieved 93% sensitivity and 96% specificity for B-line presence, with a kappa of 0.88.
    • Agreement for B-line severity classification yielded a weighted kappa of 0.65.
    • The model demonstrated strong performance in both binary and severity assessments.

    Conclusions:

    • A DL algorithm can effectively quantify B-lines in lung ultrasound, assisting in diagnosis and severity tracking.
    • This AI tool offers a standardized approach, potentially reducing diagnostic variability.
    • Integration into ultrasound systems could improve patient outcomes for respiratory conditions.
