Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deep learning (DL) shows promise for interpretation of lung ultrasound (LUS) images in humans, but its performance in animals remains underexplored. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: Assess performance of a B-line detection algorithm (BLDA) trained on LUS images from humans when applied to images from dogs. ANIMALS: A total of 1,950 clips collected from 201 LUS examinations in 90 dogs across 4…
