Current forms of artificial intelligence are already capable of accurately detecting fractures on X-rays that are difficult to observe with the naked eye. These are the findings of a study conducted by a professor of radiology at Boston University School of Medicine.
The algorithm used proved to be capable of quickly and automatically detecting fractures of limbs, pelvis, torso, lumbar spine and thoracic cage. When combined with the expertise of specialists, it reduced the number of fractures missed by 29% while improving precision by 5%.
