External testing of a Deep Learning Algorithm for Fracture Detection: A retrospective & diagnostic accuracy study

Short summary

Testing of a Deep Learning Algorithm for fracture detection on radiographs, compared to expert opinion.


Rationale

Fracture detection using radiography is a common task in emergency departments, as traumatic extremity fractures are a leading cause of visits worldwide. Missed fractures on radiographs are a common cause of diagnostic discrepancies between clinicians and the Department of Radiology. To adress these challenge, artificial intelligence algorithms have emerged as an encouraging solution for fracture detection. Our study aim to externally test an AI fracture detection algorithm, with the specific objective to estimate fracture detection sensitivity and specificity.


Description of the cohort

Retrospectively, patients referred from the Emergency Department at OUH to the Department of Radiology for radiographic assessment of suspected fractures are included in the study population.


Data and biological material
