Tracking pleural sliding motion to assess lung overdistention using an open source algorithm: a proof-of-concept study on lung ultrasound scans

Pleural line motion tracking is feasible and provides quantitative insight into pleural movement based on data from healthy volunteers and visual inspection of images from ICU patients. Moreover, pleural line movement allows accurate assessment of overdistention during mechanical ventilation when compared with electrical-impedance tomography.

Abstract

Pleural line motion tracking is feasible and provides quantitative insight into pleural movement based on data from healthy volunteers and visual inspection of images from ICU patients. Moreover, pleural line movement allows accurate assessment of overdistention during mechanical ventilation when compared with electrical-impedance tomography.
