AI technologies detect fractures
People who may have broken a bone could have their x-ray examined using artificial intelligence technologies, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has said in draft guidance. In addition to a trained healthcare professional reviewing the x-ray, an independent NICE committee has said one of four AI tools can be used to help detect fractures on X-rays in urgent care. The recommendation allows TechCare Alert, BoneView, RBfracture or Rayvolve to be used in urgent care settings in England while further evidence is generated to demonstrate the technology’s benefits in a real-world setting.
