AI helps to spot bone fractures in trauma patients

Researchers from France retrospectively assessed the performance of three radiologists — without and then with the help of a commercial AI algorithm — for detecting bone fractures on x-rays in trauma patients. After gaining access to AI assistance, the radiologists in the study saw a statistically significant increase in sensitivity for fracture detection, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value.

What’s more, each of the radiologists had a significant reduction in reading time.

“AI-assisted radiologists work better and faster compared with unassisted radiologists,”…
