This proof-of-concept study tracks pleural line movement to evaluate overdistention in lung scans, implying its potential clinical use.
Pleural line motion tracking is feasible and provides quantitative insight into pleural movement based on data from healthy volunteers and visual inspection of images from ICU patients. Moreover, pleural line movement allows accurate assessment of overdistention during mechanical ventilation when compared with electrical-impedance tomography.
