Monitoring of Lung Ultrasound Acquisition using Infrared Sensors and Artificial Intelligence.

Lung diseases contribute significantly to global mortality rates. The conventional diagnostic techniques based on medical imaging used for lung disease diagnosis normally require specialized personnel and complex infrastructure, posing challenges in rural areas. In response to these challenges, Volume Sweep Imaging in the lung (VSI-L) is an ultrasound-based acquisition protocol designed to empower non-specialized healthcare providers by following the movement of the transducer when performing a set of ultrasound scans along the chest.
