Problem the AI is intended to solve

The Butterfly iQ3 Ultrasound System is indicated for use by qualified and trained healthcare professionals to enable diagnostic ultrasound imaging and measurement of anatomical structures and fluids of adult and pediatric patients for the following clinical applications: Peripheral Vessel (including carotid, deep vein thrombosis and arterial studies), Small Organs (including thyroid, scrotum and breast), Cardiac, Abdominal, Lung, Procedural Guidance, Urology, Fetal/Obstetric, Gynecological, Musculoskeletal (conventional), Musculoskeletal (superficial) and Ophthalmic.

Expected benefits

Accelerates ultrasound workflows.

System outputs

The purpose of the Auto B-line Counter is to provide automated detection and automatic calculation of the number of B-lines to a user in a given rib space and also provides the users the capabilities of reviewing the detected B-lines (via visual overlays). The overlay of B-lines does not mark images for detection of specific pathologies. The Auto B-line Counter enables the automated identification and count of B-lines during a lung scan and is integrated into the existing Butterfly iQ/iQ+ mobile application for use with the Butterfly iQ or iQ+ transducers.
