Abstract

PURPOSE: The study aims to develop an automatic method to align ultrasound images of the distal forearm for diagnosing pediatric fractures. This approach seeks to bypass the reliance on X-rays for fracture diagnosis, thereby minimizing radiation exposure and making the process less painful, as well as creating a more child-friendly diagnostic pathway.
