Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition causing numbness and pain in the hand due to compression of the median nerve. Current research focuses on developing automated diagnostic tools, particularly using deep learning algorithms applied to ultrasound images, to improve the accuracy and consistency of CTS diagnosis, reducing reliance on subjective expert interpretation. These automated systems aim to standardize the diagnostic process, potentially leading to earlier and more effective treatment for patients. The development of reliable, automated diagnostic tools represents a significant advancement in the management of CTS.
