Automated classification of hip fractures using deep convolutional neural networks with orthopedic surgeon-level accuracy: ensemble decision-making with antero-posterior and lateral radiographs

Background and purpose — Deep-learning approaches based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are gaining interest in the medical imaging field. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of a CNN to discriminate femoral neck fractures, trochanteric fractures, and non-fracture using antero-posterior...
