- Involving 3,240 patients and analyzing X-ray images, the deep learning model achieved high accuracy (97.03%), sensitivity (95.70%), and specificity (98.37%) in detecting DRFs, outperforming orthopedic and radiology specialists.
- The findings suggest that this AI model can serve as a valuable second opinion in clinical settings, potentially improving the accuracy of DRF diagnoses.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To explore an intelligent detection technology based on deep learning algorithms to assist the clinical diagnosis of distal radius fractures (DRFs), and further compare it with human performance to verify the feasibility of this method.
Methods: A total of 3,240 patients (fracture: = 1,620, normal: = 1,620) were included in this study, with a total of 3,276 wrist joint anteroposterior (AP) X-ray films (1,639 fractured, 1,637 normal) and 3,260 wrist joint lateral X-ray films (1,623 fractured, 1,637 normal). We divided the patients into training set, validation set and test set in a ratio of 7:1.5:1.5. The deep learning models were developed using the data from the training and validation sets, and then their effectiveness were evaluated using the data from the test set. Evaluate the diagnostic performance of deep learning models using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, and compare them with medical professionals.
Results: The deep learning ensemble model had excellent accuracy (97.03%), sensitivity (95.70%), and specificity (98.37%) in detecting DRFs. Among them, the accuracy of the AP view was 97.75%, the sensitivity 97.13%, and the specificity 98.37%; the accuracy of the lateral view was 96.32%, the sensitivity 94.26%, and the specificity 98.37%. When the wrist joint is counted, the accuracy was 97.55%, the sensitivity 98.36%, and the specificity 96.73%. In terms of these variables, the performance of the ensemble model is superior to that of both the orthopedic attending physician group and the radiology attending physician group.
Conclusion: This deep learning ensemble model has excellent performance in detecting DRFs on plain X-ray films. Using this artificial intelligence model as a second expert to assist clinical diagnosis is expected to improve the accuracy of diagnosing DRFs and enhance clinical work efficiency.

Introduction: The prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases has significantly increased, necessitating a deeper understanding of their symptoms, diagnostic processes, and prevention strategies. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two prominent neurodegenerative conditions that present diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms. To address these challenges, experts utilize a range of imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional MRI (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

Applying artificial intelligence techniques to flexibly model the binding between the ligand and protein has attracted extensive interest in recent years, but their applicability remains improved. In this study, we have developed CarsiDock-Flex, a novel two-step flexible docking paradigm that generates binding poses directly from predicted structures. CarsiDock-Flex consists of an equivariant deep learning-based model termed CarsiInduce to refine ESMFold-predicted protein pockets with the induction of specific ligands and our existing CarsiDock algorithm to redock the ligand into the induced binding pockets.

Human mobility between different regions is a major factor in large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases. Deep learning models incorporating infectious disease transmission dynamics for predicting the spread of multi-regional outbreaks due to human mobility have become a hot research topic. In this study, we incorporate the Graph Transformer Neural Network and graph learning mechanisms into a metapopulation SIR model to build a hybrid framework, Metapopulation Graph Transformer Neural Network (M-Graphormer), for high-dimensional parameter estimation and multi-regional epidemic prediction.
