Facial bone fractures are relatively common, with the nasal bone the most frequently fractured facial bone. Computed tomography is the gold standard for diagnosing such fractures. Most nasal bone fractures can be treated using a closed reduction. How...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate a deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) model for detecting skull fractures on plain radiographs in children.
The presence of cranial and facial bone fractures is an important finding on non-enhanced head computed tomography (CT) scans from patients who have sustained head trauma. Some prior studies have proposed automatic cranial fracture detections, but st...

BACKGROUND: Midfacial fractures are among the most frequent facial fractures. Surgery is recommended within 2 weeks of injury, but this time frame is often extended because the fracture is missed on diagnostic imaging in the busy emergency medicine s...

This study aims to evaluate an AI model designed to automatically classify skull fractures and visualize segmentation on emergent CT scans. The model's goal is to boost diagnostic accuracy, alleviate radiologists' workload, and hasten diagnosis, ther...
Pediatric head trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with children, particularly those under two years old, being more susceptible to skull fractures due to their unique physiological and developmental characteristics. A recent st...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CT imaging exposes patients to ionizing radiation. MR imaging is radiation free but previously has not been able to produce diagnostic-quality images of bone on a timeline suitable for clinical use. We developed automated moti...
OBJECTIVES: To achieve intelligent recognition and segmentation of common craniocerebral injuries (hereinafter referred to as "segmentation") by training convolutional neural network DeepLabV3+ model based on CT images of blunt craniocerebral injury ...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The potential intricacy of skull fractures as well as the complexity of underlying anatomy poses diagnostic hurdles for radiologists evaluating computed tomography (CT) scans. The necessity for automated diagnostic tools has been ...

When infants are admitted to the hospital with skull fractures, providers must distinguish between cases of accidental and abusive head trauma. Limited information about the incident is available in such cases, and witness statements are not always r...
