Abstract

BACKGROUND: The growing prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases increases radiologic workload, highlighting the need for optimized workflow management and automated metadata classification systems. We developed a large-scale, well-characterized dataset of musculoskeletal radiographs and trained deep learning neural networks to classify radiographic projection and body side.
