Abstract

PURPOSE: The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has seen widespread implementation, with numerous studies highlighting the development of robust algorithms. However, limited attention has been given to the secure utilization of raw data for medical model training, and its subsequent impact on clinical decision-making and real-world applications. This study aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of an advanced diagnostic model that integrates blockchain technology and AI for the identification of tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) in emergency settings.
