Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Solution Combining Convolutional Neural Network and Analytical Approach Showed Higher Accuracy in A-lines Detection on Lung Ultrasound in Thoracic Surgery Patients Compared with Radiology Resident.

Objectives: Lung ultrasound reduces the number of chest X-rays after thoracic surgery and thus the radiation. COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated research in lung ultrasound artifacts detection using artificial intelligence. This study evaluates the accuracy of artificial intelligence in A-lines detection in thoracic surgery patients using a novel hybrid solution that combines convolutional neural networks and analytical approach and compares it with a radiology resident and radiology experts' results.

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.

The Rehapiano-Detecting, Measuring, and Analyzing Action Tremor Using Strain Gauges.

We have developed a device, the Rehapiano, for the fast and quantitative assessment of action tremor. It uses strain gauges to measure force exerted by individual fingers. This article verifies the device's capability to measure and monitor the development of upper limb tremor.
