Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Scanning protocols for lung ultrasound often include 8 or more lung zones, which may limit real-world clinical use. We sought to compare a 2-zone, anterior-superior thoracic ultrasound protocol for B-line artifact detection with an 8-zone approach in patients with known or suspected heart failure using a deep learning (DL) algorithm.
