Skull Fracture

Skull fractures, breaks in the skull bone often resulting from trauma, are diagnosed primarily using CT scans. Current research focuses on developing automated classification systems using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), often coupled with machine learning algorithms like gradient boosted decision trees or lazy learning approaches, to improve diagnostic accuracy and speed. These CNN-based models achieve high accuracy in classifying different types of skull fractures from CT images, potentially reducing diagnostic delays and improving patient outcomes. This automated analysis offers significant potential for assisting radiologists and streamlining the diagnostic process.
