Artificial intelligence-assisted training for rib fracture interpretation: a prospective study in undergraduate medical students.

PURPOSE: Chest X-rays (CXRs) are essential in trauma care but have limited sensitivity for rib fracture detection, leading to frequent missed diagnoses. Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, yet its role in radiology education remains underexplored. This study evaluated the impact of AI-assisted training on early diagnostic performance and confidence in r...

Bio-inspired design and neural network-enhanced control of a cable-driven shoulder mechanism.

Given its complexity within the upper limb, the shoulder joint presents a major design challenge in the creation of humanoid robots, driving the need for bio-inspired mechanisms that achieve both dexterity and stability. This study deals with the bio-inspired design, mechanical modeling and neural network-enhanced control of a novel cable-driven shoulder mechanism. The design of the cable-driven b...
