Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound (US) examination has unique advantages in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), although identification of the median nerve (MN) and diagnosis of CTS depend heavily on the expertise of examiners. In the aim of alleviating this problem, we developed a one-stop automated CTS diagnosis system (OSA-CTSD) and evaluated its effectiveness as a computer-aided diagnostic tool.
