Abstract
AbstractWrist trauma is common in children and generally requires radiography for exclusion of fractures, subjecting children to radiation and long wait times in the emergency department. Ultrasound (US) has potential to be a safer, faster diagnostic tool. This study aimed to determine how reliably US could detect distal radius fractures in children, to contrast the accuracy of 2DUS to 3DUS, and to assess the utility of artificial intelligence for image interpretation. 127 children were scanned with 2DUS and 3DUS on the affected wrist. US scans were then read by 7 blinded human readers and an AI model. With radiographs used as the gold standard, expert human readers obtained a mean sensitivity of 0.97 and 0.98 for 2DUS and 3DUS respectively. The AI model sensitivity was 0.91 and 1.00 for 2DUS and 3DUS respectively. Study data suggests that 2DUS is comparable to 3DUS and AI diagnosis is comparable to human experts.
