RBfracture
Automated system for detecting fractures and fracture-related findings on X-rays across the entire appendicular skeleton.

Overview
RBfracture is an AI-powered diagnosis software device that assists healthcare professionals in detecting fractures during the review of MSK X-Rays. It also detects joint effusions and lipohemarthrosis, highlighting more subtle indications of fractures.




Features
- The software integrates into the existing workflow providing an annotated secondary capture within the PACS system.
- Built with high sensitivity.
- Detects fractures in patients with a minimum of 2 years of age for Hip, Pelvis, Femur, Knee, Crus, Hand, Wrist, Fingers, Elbow, Humerus, Foot, Ankle, Toes, Forearm & Shoulder. Detects rib fractures in patients with a minimum of 18 years of age.
- Effusion detection in patients with a minimum of 2 years of age for Elbow & Knee.
- Lipohemarthrosis detection in patients with a minimum of 15 years of age for Knee.
- Available on cloud or on premise.
Benefits
- Can reduce the number of missed fractures by 42% whilst using 40% less time.¹
- Can improve diagnostic performance for healthcare professionals.¹
- Can reduce satisfaction of search bias in fracture detection.¹
- Another study showed that RBfracture reduced missed fractures by 62% - the lowest it has been in 3 years - and that RBfracture detected the majority of fractures missed by ED clinicians.²
