Abstract

OBJECTIVE: High-resolution ultrasound is an emerging tool for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome caused by the compression of the median nerve at the wrist. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore and summarize the performance of deep learning algorithms in the automatic sonographic assessment of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel level.
