OBJECTIVES: To aid in selecting the optimal artificial intelligence (AI) solution for clinical application, we directly compared performances of selected representative custom-trained or commercial classification, detection and segmentation models for fracture detection on musculoskeletal radiographs of the distal radius by aligning their outputs.
