Artificial Intelligence–Guided Lung Ultrasound by Nonexperts

Abstract Question: Can artificial intelligence (AI) aid health care clinicians inexperienced in lung ultrasound (LUS) in obtaining high-quality LUS clips? Findings: In this multicenter diagnostic validation study among adults with shortness of breath, 98.3% of ultrasound examinations performed by trained health care professionals with AI guidance were of sufficient quality to meet diagnostic standards and were not statistically different compared with images acquired by LUS experts without AI guidance. Meaning: With AI assistance, trained novices can produce expert-level images that
