Abstract
BACKGROUND: Over the recent decades, the number of different manufacturers and models of cerebrospinal fluid shunt valves constantly increased. Proper identification of shunt valves on X-ray images is crucial to neurosurgeons and radiologists to derive further details of a specific shunt valve, such as opening pressure settings and MR scanning conditions. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of an AI-assisted shunt valve detection system.
