Title: Automated detection, localization and treatment of distal radius fractures with a convolutional neural network

Winner: Marco Keller, University of Basel, Switzerland

Dr Keller’s goal is to build a user-friendly application, consisting of a multi-modal convolutional neural network which will detect fractures, and support treating physicians along the decision-making process in the treatment of wrist trauma patients in the emergency room. The artificial convolutional neural network will be used to analyze data from conventional X-rays, CT scans and clinical information to provide a synthesis of and treatment of distal radius fractures in daily hospital routine.
