• Abstract summary: Fractures are among the most common injuries in children and adolescents, with approximately 800 000 cases treated annually in Germany. The AO/OTA system provides a structured fracture type classification, which serves as the foundation for treatment decisions. Current deep learning models have demonstrated performance comparable to that of experienced radiologists.

• Abstract: Fractures, particularly in the distal forearm, are among the most common injuries in children and adolescents, with approximately 800 000 cases treated annually in Germany. The AO/OTA system provides a structured fracture type classification, which serves as the foundation for treatment decisions. Although accurately classifying fractures can be challenging, current deep learning models have demonstrated performance comparable to that of experienced radiologists. While most existing approaches rely solely on radiographs, the potential impact of incorporating other additional modalities, such as automatic bone segmentation, fracture location, and radiology reports, remains underexplored. In this work, we systematically analyse the contribution of these three additional information types, finding that combining them with radiographs increases the AUROC from 91.71 to 93.25. Our code is available on GitHub.

• Learning from the few: Fine-grained approach to pediatric wrist pathology recognition on a limited dataset [4.391219238034502]
  Wrist pathologies, particularly fractures common among children and adolescents, present a critical diagnostic challenge. Recent advancements in deep convolutional neural networks offer promise in automating pathology detection in trauma X-rays. Traditional manual annotation, though effective, is laborious, costly, and requires specialized expertise. We propose a fine-grained approach, aimed at automatically identifying discriminative regions in X-rays without manual intervention.

• Faint Features Tell: Automatic Vertebrae Fracture Screening Assisted by Contrastive Learning [11.944282446506396]
  Long-term vertebral fractures severely affect the life quality of patients, causing kyphotic, lumbar deformity and even paralysis. In particular, the mild fractures and normal controls are quite difficult to distinguish for deep learning models and inexperienced doctors. Motivated by this, we propose a supervised contrastive learning based model to estimate Genent's Grade of vertebral fracture with CT scans. Our method has a specificity of 99% and a sensitivity of 85% in binary classification, and a macio-F1 of 77% in multi-classification, indicating that contrastive learning significantly improves the accuracy of vertebrae fracture screening.

  Deep convolutional neural networks (D-CNNs) have shown remarkable performance in interpreting chest radiograph (CXR) scans in adults.

A D-CNN model is then trained on 3,550 annotated scans to classify multiple pediatric lung pathologies automatically.

The VinDr-SpineXR is evaluated on a test set of 2,078 images from 1,000 studies, which is kept separate from the training set.

We propose a new knowledge distillation method that effectively exploits large-scale image-level labels extracted from the medical records.
