The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the marketing of an artificial intelligence algorithm which is part of a diagnostic intended to help physicians detect wrist fractures. Called OsteoDetect, the product is a computer-aided detection and diagnostic software package that uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyse two-dimensional X-ray images for signs of distal radius fracture, a common type of wrist fracture. The software marks the location of the fracture on the image to assist the healthcare provider with detection and diagnosis.
