MobilePTX: Sparse Coding for Pneumothorax Detection Given Limited Training Examples [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) refers to clinician-performed and interpreted ultrasonography at the patient's bedside. Interpreting these images requires a high level of expertise, which may not be available during emergencies. In this paper, we support POCUS by developing classifiers that can aid medical professionals by diagnosing whether or not a ...
