The mean paired accuracy score difference between the curvilinear and phased array images was 3.0% (95% CI: 0.6 to 5.4%, P\u2009=\u20090.015). For novices, scores were higher on curvilinear images (mean difference: 5.4%, 95% CI: 0.9 to 9.9%, P\u2009=\u20090.020). For non\u2010novices, there were no differences between the two transducers (mean difference: 1.4%, 95% CI: \u22121.1 to 3.9%, P\u2009=\u20090.263). For pleural\u2010based findings, the mean of the paired differences between transducers was higher in the novice group (estimated mean difference\u2010in\u2010differences: 9.5%, 95% CI: 0.6 to 18.4%; P\u2009=\u20090.036). No difference in mean accuracies was noted between novices and non\u2010novices for non\u2010pleural\u2010based pathologies (estimated mean difference\u2010in\u2010differences: 0.6%, 95% CI to 5.4\u20136.6%; P\u2009=\u20090.837).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Lung ultrasound images obtained using the curvilinear transducer are associated with higher interpretation accuracy than the phased array transducer.
