    Abstract In the context of lung ultrasound, the detection of B-lines, which are indicative of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary edema, plays a pivotal role in clinical diagnosis. Current methods still rely on visual inspection by experts. Vision-based automatic B-line detection methods have been developed, but their performance has yet to improve in terms of both accuracy and computational speed. This paper presents a novel approach to posing B-line detection as an inverse problem via deep unfolding of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM). It tackles the challenges of data labelling and model training in lung ultrasound image analysis by harnessing the capabilities of deep neural networks and model-based methods. Our objective is to substantially enhance diagnostic accuracy while ensuring efficient real-time capabilities. The results show that the proposed method runs more than 90 times faster than the traditional model-based method and achieves an F1 score that is 10.6% higher.
    摘要 在肺超声 imaging 中,B-线的检测对临床诊断具有重要的作用。现有方法仍然依赖于专家的视觉检查。基于视觉的自动B-线检测方法已经开发,但其性能还未得到改进。这篇论文提出了一种将B-线检测转换为反问题via深度嵌入ADMM的新方法。它利用深度神经网络和模型基于方法来解决肺超声图像分析中的数据标注和模型训练问题。我们的目标是substantially提高诊断精度,同时保持高速的实时能力。结果显示,提出的方法在计算速度方面比传统的模型基于方法快上了90多个倍,并且 achieved an F1 score 10.6% 高于传统模型。
