Table 2.

The clinical criteria used to score LUS videos that have been evaluated by the algorithm beforehand. The labelling system determines a certain confidence of an experienced sonographer to identify the overall rating of a video based on the corresponding consolidation/collapse imaging pattern per frame using anatomical markers, image quality, and other possible obstructions for appropriate identification.

Y Y* N
Obstructions to identification Little to no ambiguity or obstructions to view Possible causes: - artefacts overlappin - poor ultrasound probe placement
Consolidation/collapse identified Conclusive frames Conclusive frames inconclusive frames Inconclusive frames
Anatomical landmarks/scanning regions identified Conclusive frames Conclusive frames inconclusive frames Inconclusive frames
Image quality Good to high Not optimal to normal Not optimal/poor
