Abstract
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of rotator cuff tears (RCTs) using radiographs alone is clinically challenging; thus, the utility of deep learning algorithms based on convolutional neural networks has been remarkable in the field of medical imaging recognition. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (a deep learning algorithm; a convolutional neural network) to detect and classify RCTs using shoulder radiographs, and compare its diagnostic performance with that of orthopedic surgeons.
