Résumé

Weaning a patient from mechanical ventilation is a critical task in Intensive Care Units, but it can be made safer by using Lung Ultrasound scoring. This scoring is currently done visually by specialists based on Lung Ultrasound artifacts among which are A-lines. Automating this scoring may help standardizing results and saving time for clinicians. In this paper, we propose a method to automatically detect A-lines from a manual delineation of the pleural line, and by using both the intensity profile of the LUS image and morphological operations. A score is then assigned to significant lines and represents the possibility of them being A-lines. The proposed method shows promising results in differentiating A-lines from other elements with an Area Under the Curve of 0.95; furthermore, using a threshold at 0.5 to detect A-lines leads to very good performances with an accuracy of 95% and a F0.5-score of 0.84.
