AUTOMATED ULTRASOUND ASSESSMENT OF TENDON HEALING AND ANALYSIS/UTILIZATION OF RESULTS USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

摘要

Metrics related to objective and consistent quantification of scar tissue volume strongly correlates with tendon healing and range of motion. Automated acquisition of ultrasound images of fingers helps assess tendon healing in a longitudinally, non- invasive, quantitative fashion and can be used to guide clinical decision-making and management of post-operative tendon repair patients.
