Figures & data
Figure 1. Image preprocessing for the convolutional neural network model training and validation. We cropped images to a minimum region containing the femoral head and the greater and lesser trochanters in both the AP (A) and lateral (B) hip radiographs. On the AP radiographs, the fractured hip (left white box) was cropped and the side contralateral from the fractured hip (right white box) was cropped as the non-fractured hip. AP = anteroposterior.

Figure 2. Comparison of the accuracy between the AP, lateral, and both views of the CNN and the 4 orthopedic surgeons. In the CNN model, the accuracy of the diagnosis based on both views was statistically better than the AP view alone and the lateral view alone. The accuracy of diagnosis based on the AP view alone was statistically better than the lateral view alone. The same trend was also seen with the board-certified orthopedic surgeons. AP = anteroposterior; CNN = convolutional neural network.

Figure 3. Representative radiographs of hip fractures. The AP (A) and lateral (B) radiographs of a trochanteric fracture, which the CNN misdiagnosed as a non-fracture, but all the orthopedic surgeon diagnosed correctly. The AP (C) and lateral (D) radiographs of a neck fracture, which 3 of the 4 orthopedic surgeons misdiagnosed as a non-fracture, but the CNN diagnosed correctly. The AP (E) and lateral (F) radiographs of a trochanteric fracture, which 3 of the 4 orthopedic surgeons misdiagnosed as a non-fracture or a neck fracture, but the CNN diagnosed correctly. AP = anteroposterior; CNN = convolutional neural network.
