1. A lung injury monitoring system configured to monitor a patient's lungs during ventilation, comprising:
an ultrasound device configured to obtain an ultrasound image of the patient's lungs during ventilation of the patient;
a processor configured to: (i) receive the obtained ultrasound image; (ii) determine a ventilation phase of the ventilator; (iii) analyze the received ultrasound image; and (iv) determine a risk score for a potential ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI); and
a user interface configured to display the risk score of the potential VALI.
