Abstract

BACKGROUND: MRI is the most commonly used imaging method for diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. However, the interpretation of knee MRI is time-intensive and depends on the clinical experience of the reader. An automated detection system based on a deep-learning algorithm may improve interpretation time and reliability.
