Researchers report that a deep neural network designed to identify fractures in radiographs that was trained using 135,409 annotated radiographs from 18 senior orthopedic surgeons helped emergency department clinicians reduce the rate of radiograph misinterpretation by 47%, a result demonstrating how deep neural networks, trained by experienced specialists, can transfer expertise to generalist clinicians.
