External validation of an artificial intelligence tool for fracture detection in children with osteogenesis imperfecta: a multireader study
To evaluate the effectiveness of a commercially available AI fracture detection tool in improving radiologists’ detection of skeletal fractures in children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), highlighting the significance of accurate diagnosis in this rare condition.
Key Findings:
AI assistance improved fracture detection rates among radiologists, with a specific percentage increase noted.
The AI tool provided bounding boxes indicating areas of high probability for fractures.
Radiologists' performance varied significantly based on experience level.
Interpretation:
The study suggests that AI tools can enhance the diagnostic accuracy of radiologists in detecting fractures in children with OI, a rare condition, which could lead to better patient outcomes.
Limitations:
The AI tool was not specifically trained on OI populations.
The study did not include clinical information or prior images for comparison.
The sample size and diversity of the radiologists may limit generalizability, and potential biases in the study design should be considered.
Conclusion:
The integration of AI tools in clinical practice may help mitigate the risk of missed fractures in children with osteogenesis imperfecta, although further studies are needed to confirm these findings and assess their broader applicability.

Sexual dysfunction is a lasting effect of treatment and can impact the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. This review examined the impact of different levels (none/low, moderate, and high) of physical activity on sexual outcomes in breast cancer survivors.
