AI algorithms have proven themselves beneficial in predicting outcomes based on imaging, but a new meta-analysis suggests that when it comes to hip fractures, these tech tools do not always live up to their hype.
A new paper published in JAMA on March 17 details experts’ review of 39 different studies involving AI algorithms said to identify hip fractures and predict postoperative outcomes using X-rays alone. Although the analysis revealed the algorithms to be an effective tool for detecting these fractures, their performance in predicting patient-specific outcomes did not earn the researchers’ endorsement over expert radiologists [1].
“The performance of AI in diagnosing hip fractures was comparable with that of expert radiologists and surgeons,” corresponding author of the...
