Researchers at Johns Hopkins University are leveraging the power of machine learning to improve X-ray-guided pelvic fracture surgery ... sequences based on a preexisting database of annotated CT scan ...

An unstable fracture usually has two or more breaking points, causing displacement of the pelvic bones. An MRI, CT scan, or an x-ray can be used to diagnose the type of fracture and symptoms.

The researchers suggested that CT scans might be a more effective test if high clinical suspicion persists after no fracture is identified on the pelvic X ... such as an MRI scan or ultrasound.
