Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to develop and validate an algorithm based on deep neural networks (DNNs) to identify interscalene brachial plexus on ultrasonography automatically.
Detailed Description
The investigators plan to develop a deep learning-based network to automatically identify interscalene brachial nerves on ultrasound images. The trained model will be validated on an independent dataset. The performance of the network will also be compared against practicing anesthesiologists.
