Deep learning network detects, localizes fractures on wrist x-rays

Prior studies have demonstrated that CNNs can detect fractures on radiographs, wrote first author Yee Liang Thian, MD, of National University of Singapore and colleagues, but these methods focus on classifying images as either fractures or non-fractures with no localization component.
