Registration Number
NCT06373029
Lead Sponsor
Peking University People's Hospital
Brief Summary

Ultrasound (US) is a more cost-effective, accessible, and available imaging technique to assess anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) injuries compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, challenges in using this technique and increasing demand on qualified musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologists delay the diagnosis. The investigators have already developed a deep convolutional network (DCNN) model that automates detailed classification of ATFL injuries. The investigators hope to use the DCNN in real-world clinical setting to test its diagnostic accuracy.
