Abstract:
Trauma represents a potentially life-threatening medical condition that requires prompt intervention to ensure patient survival and prompt identification of injured organs. Physicians working in this high-pressure environment must read and interpret a vast amount of information and images in a limited amount of time. Deep learning has been shown to be effective in several medical image domains, including hemorrhage detection in brain CT scans, fracture detection in chest and pelvic X-rays, and fluid detection in ultrasonography.
At the Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital trauma department, our objective is to apply deep learning algorithms to various critical trauma image modalities in order to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system. Our team has successfully developed fracture detection models for pelvic X-rays, rib fracture detection models for chest X-rays, and spleen injury identification models for abdominal computed tomography.
Our future goal is to integrate this system into the clinical information system and apply these models to the trauma image warning system, thus providing a computer-assisted diagnosis of critical injuries to trauma patients in all hospitals. By diagnosing severe injuries early, we can improve the quality of trauma care and save patients' lives.
