Clinical thought-based software for diagnosing developmental dysplasia of the hip on pediatric pelvic radiographs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The common methods of radiographic diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) include measuring hip parameters and quantifying the degree of hip dislocation. However, clinical thought-based analysis of hip parameters may be a more effective way to achieve expert-like diagnoses of DDH. This study aims to develop a diagnostic strategy-based software for pediatric DDH and validate its clinical feasibility.

Methods

In total, 543 anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were retrospectively collected from January 2017 to December 2021. Two independent clinicians measured four diagnostic indices to compare the diagnoses made by the software and conventional manual method. The diagnostic accuracy was evaluated using the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves
