Evaluation of lungs via ultrasound

A method comprising:

• generating a plurality of ultrasound images at each of a plurality of locations on a lung using an ultrasound imager to provide a plurality of images;
• assigning respective grades to each of the plurality of images according to an amount of B-line artifact in the image to generate a plurality of grades for the lung;
• calculating a composite score for the lung from the plurality of grades, the composite score representing a general assessment of the lung for transplant into a patient;
• and
• providing the composite score to a user at an associated output device.

A computer program product, storing instructions executable by an associated processor to evaluate a plurality of ultrasound images of a lung, the executable instructions comprising:

• a grader interface configured to receive, for each of the ultrasound images, data representing the image, and provide a grade representing the amount of B-line artifact in the image;
• a score calculator configured to determine a composite score representing a general assessment of the lung from the plurality of grades;
• and
• a user interface configured to provide the composite score to a user at an associated output device.
