Automated diagnosis of lung conditions using images from an ultrasound scanner

A computer device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer device to perform a set of operations, comprising:
• inputting a plurality of ultrasound images of a lung into a segmentation model;
• for a respective image of the plurality of ultrasound images of the lung, obtaining, from a first output of the segmentation model, a first segmented region of the respective image corresponding to a candidate A-line;
• comparing the first segmented region in the respective image corresponding to the candidate A-line to other segmented regions from other images in the plurality of ultrasound images to determine a second segmented region of the respective image corresponding to an actual A-line;
• and
• causing display of the second segmented region of the respective image.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon program code instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a set of operations, comprising:

• inputting a plurality of ultrasound images of a lung into a segmentation model;
• for a respective image of the plurality of ultrasound images of the lung, obtaining, from a first output of the segmentation model, a first segmented region of the respective image corresponding to a candidate A-line;
• comparing the first segmented region in the respective image corresponding to the candidate A-line to other segmented regions from other images in the plurality of ultrasound images to determine a second segmented region of the respective image corresponding to an actual A-line;
• and
• causing display of the second segmented region of the respective image.
