Abstract

We present a system that uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to detect wrist fractures (distal radius fractures) in posterioanterior and lateral radiographs. The proposed system uses random forest regression voting constrained local model to automatically segment the radius. The resulting automatic annotation is used to register the object across the dataset and crop patches. A CNN is trained on the registered patches for each view separately. Our automatic system outperformed existing systems with a performance of 96% (area under receiver operating characteristic curve) on cross-validation experiments on a dataset of 1010 patients, half of them with fractures.
