Artificial intelligence to diagnosis distal radius fracture using biplane plain X-rays
Abstract Background Although the automatic diagnosis of fractures using artificial intelligence (AI) has recently been reported to be more accurate than those by orthopedics specialists, big data with at least 1000 images or more are required for deep learning of the convolutional neural network (CN...
