Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in medical diagnostics, particularly in radiology, where it aids in the accurate and timely detection of skeletal injuries such as rib fractures. Rib fractures, often challenging to diagnose due to their subtle presentation on imaging, are commonly assessed using X-rays and CT scans. While X-rays are widely accessible, their sensitivity is limited, whereas CT scans offer higher resolution but are time-consuming to interpret. AI, leveraging convolutional neural networks (CNNs), presents a promising solution to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in detecting rib fractures. Methods: This retrospective diagnostic accuracy study evaluated an AI system's performance in identifying rib fractures using chest X-rays and CT scans from 200 patients, including 100 .. Read More»
