Abstract

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly important in our healthcare systems and in patient care. Several programs are now able to detect and localize fractures on conventional X-rays. Studies show that coupled with human interpretation, these software programs improve diagnostic performance and reduce healthcare costs. However, they are not infallible (variable specificity and sensitivity according to studies). This article shows through a clinical case the challenges and analytical biases of AI in the diagnostic process.
