Abstract
PURPOSE: Foreign bodies such as a surgical gauze can be retained in the body after surgery and in some cases cannot be detected by postoperative radiography. The aim of this study was to develop an object detection model capable of postsurgical detection of retained gauze in the body. The object detection model used deep learning using abdominal radiographs, and a phantom study was performed to evaluate the ability of the model to automatically detect retained surgical gauze.
