Abstract

Aiming at the problem that the existing auxiliary diagnosis methods for fractures are mostly limited to specific body parts and lack generality and robustness when applied to multi-part diagnoses, this study proposes a two-stage upper limb fracture auxiliary diagnosis method based on deep learning and develops a corresponding auxiliary diagnosis system. In the first stage, this study employs an improved ResNet-50 model combined with transfer learning and a Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) attention mechanism for fracture image localization. In the second stage, an improved You Only Look Once (YOLO) model based on Scale Sequence Feature Fusion (SSFF) and Triple Feature Encoder (TFE) modules is used for fracture diagnoses in different body parts. Contrary to the traditional methods that are tailored to specific body parts, the integrated design approach presented in this paper is better suited to meeting the diagnostic needs of multiple body parts, demonstrating better generality and clinical application potential.
