Artificial intelligence assisted analysis and classification of pelvic ring fractures

While fractures of the pelvic ring—the sturdy ring of bones located at the base of the spine—are relatively uncommon, diagnosis and classification of these painful injuries are fundamental to helping patients avoid immobility, complications, and even death. Thanks to AO's innovation funding,  Universitätsklinikum Ulm (UKU) senior physician Konrad Schütze, MD, PhD, senior radiologist Daniel Vogele and radiological software developer Mint Medical (a Brainlab company) are harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool that could revolutionize diagnosis and classification of pelvic ring fractures.
