Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for performing automated detection of lung slide using a computing device (e.g., an ultrasound system, etc.) are disclosed. In some embodiments, the techniques determine lung sliding using one or more neural networks. In some embodiments, the neural networks are part of a process that determines probabilities of the lung sliding at one or more M-lines. In some embodiments, the techniques display one or more probabilities of lung sliding in a B-mode ultrasound image.
