Using deep learning with CT helps predict hip fractures
A deep-learning model that includes digital x-rays reconstructed from 3D hip CT images shows promise for predicting subsequent fractures in patients with a relatively recent hip break, researchers have found.
The findings could improve how clinicians care for their patients, wrote a team led by doctoral candidate Yisak Kim of Seoul National University Graduate School in South Korea. The group's findings were published January 30 in Radiology.
"Developing a prediction model for short-term subsequent fracture risk is important because it would identify patients at the highest risk and aid in determining appropriate treatme...
