Lung Ultrasound Reduces Chest X-rays in Postoperative Care after Thoracic Surgery: Is There a Role for Artificial Intelligence?-Systematic Review.

Background: Chest X-ray (CXR) remains the standard imaging modality in postoperative care after non-cardiac thoracic surgery. Lung ultrasound (LUS) showed promising results in CXR reduction. The aim of this review was to identify areas where the evaluation of LUS videos by artificial intelligence could improve the implementation of LUS in thoracic surgery.
