ABSTRACT
This article will provide a perspective review of the most extensively investigated deep learning (DL) applications for musculoskeletal disease detection that have the best potential to translate into routine clinical practice over the next decade. Deep learning methods for detecting fractures, estimating pediatric bone age, calculating bone measurements such as lower extremity alignment and Cobb angle, and grading osteoarthritis on radiographs have been shown to have high diagnostic performance with many of these applications now commercially available for use in clinical practice. Many studies have also documented the feasibility of using DL methods for detecting joint pathology and characterizing bone tumors on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, musculoskeletal disease detection on MRI is difficult as it requires multi-task, multi-class detection of complex abnormalities on multiple image slices with different tissue contrasts. The generalizability of DL methods for musculoskeletal disease detection on MRI is also challenging due to fluctuations in image quality caused by the wide variety of scanners and pulse sequences used in routine MRI protocols. The diagnostic performance of current DL methods for musculoskeletal disease detection must be further evaluated in well-designed prospective studies using large image datasets acquired at different institutions with different imaging parameters and imaging hardware before they can be fully implemented in clinical practice. Future studies must also investigate the true clinical benefits of current DL methods and determine whether they could enhance quality, reduce error rates, improve workflow, and decrease radiologist fatigue and burnout with all of this weighed against the costs.
