Analytical Approach Towards Radiological Image-based Fracture Assessment Using Artificial Intelligence

The utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques has been prevalent in various applications and the gradual increase in implementation towards healthcare sectors has scaled up. Computer aided diagnosis has emerged as a major research area directed toward efficient use of resources. Fracture of bone has been a popular health problem associated with risk for mortality. Fractures are frequent in the long bones or the weight-bearing bones. AI techniques to accurately detect and classify fractures are still a challenging task beyond the conventional methods. Our objective is to assess the effectiveness of multiple algorithms in identifying and categorizing ankle fractures using radiological images. This review paper focuses on several available approaches of Deep-Learning (DL) and Machine-Learning (ML) regarding Ankle Fracture Classification and Identification based on Radiological Images for Medical Applications. The goal is to assist physicians and orthopaedics with simple and realistic decision support systems. In addition to a comprehensive analysis of the research, this study looked at several real-world examples of AI applications in the healthcare industry. Consequently, it is critical to have a fundamental grasp of these ML and DL algorithms to be ready for upcoming advancements in AI. We have reviewed and classified scientific conference and journal articles used for various AI techniques and offer future utility as a comparative analysis for further research in healthcare sectors.
