论文摘要
在本文中,我们研究了胸膜和脂肪组织在肺超声AI分析中的重要性。当使用高频线性(HFL)而不是曲线性超声探针时,我们强调了它们更突出的外观,显示HFL显示出更好的胸膜细节。我们使用HFL超声探针比较了胸膜和脂肪组织的诊断效用。在训练和推理过程中掩盖脂肪组织(同时保留了胸膜线和Merlin的空间伪像,例如A线和B线)提高了AI模型的诊断精度。
In this paper, we study the significance of the pleura and adipose tissue in lung ultrasound AI analysis. We highlight their more prominent appearance when using high-frequency linear (HFL) instead of curvilinear ultrasound probes, showing HFL reveals better pleura detail. We compare the diagnostic utility of the pleura and adipose tissue using an HFL ultrasound probe. Masking the adipose tissue during training and inference (while retaining the pleural line and Merlin's space artifacts such as A-lines and B-lines) improved the AI model's diagnostic accuracy.
