Improved Fracture Recognition with AI assistance

 A retrospective study published in Radiology that included 489 patients with fractures that were interpreted by 24 readers showed a 10% improvement of fracture detection (75% vs 65%, superiority P<.001) when Artificial intelligence (AI) assistance was used.  AI also decreases the reading time by 6.3 seconds.  

The authors concluded that AI assistance improved the sensitivity and specificity of fracture detection for radiologists and non-radiologists alike  and shortened slightly their interpretation time.
