Abstract

PURPOSE: The incidence of orbital blowout fractures (OBFs) is gradually increasing due to traffic accidents, sports injuries, and ocular trauma. Orbital computed tomography (CT) is crucial for accurate clinical diagnosis. In this study, we built an artificial intelligence (AI) system based on two available deep learning networks (DenseNet-169 and UNet) for fracture identification, fracture side distinguishment, and fracture area segmentation.
