Methods, systems, and computer readable media for utilizing ultrasound multiple scattering to assess pulmonary fibrosis are disclosed. One method may comprise transmitting ultrasound energy into the lungs of a subject, detecting portions of the ultrasound energy backscattered by structures in the lungs of the subject, calculating a transport parameter from the detected portions of the ultrasound energy backscattered by the structures in the lungs of the subject, inputting the transport parameter into a model that correlates values of the transport parameter with quantitative indications of severity of pulmonary fibrosis, and receiving, from the model, a quantitative indication of the severity of pulmonary fibrosis for the subject that correlates with the transport parameter for the subject.
