Abstract

BACKGROUND: Bone metastases (BM) represent a prevalent complication of tumors. Early and accurate diagnosis, however, is a significant hurdle for radiologists. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a valuable tool to assist radiologists in the detection of BM. This meta-analysis was undertaken to evaluate the AI diagnostic accuracy for BM.
