Assist in the diagnosis of elbow fractures in paediatric emergencies at the Nantes HEC

Use described publicly by Hospitalia — Dr Fleur Lorton (CHU de Nantes) (25 March 2026), summarised by the desk. Not tested by iadujour.

The result to aim for

Dr. Fleur Lorton, an emergency pediatrician at the CHU in Nantes, describes AI as a "second look" at the elbow X-rays in the child: 99% sensitivity for the assisted clinician, +20 points vs. emergency alone, on 755 files. Trauma software is now routine on limb x-rays.

What was done

Hospitalia (25 March 2026), European Journal of Radiology study, pediatric emergency collaboration, radiology and CIC-FEA Inserm 1413. Retrospective analysis 2019-2020, two blind reference experts from the AI. In production: fracture identification, luxation, intra-articular effusion on the limbs. A thorax study is underway (excluding title). Distinct from Incepto/Elsan.

Before you start

Tool cited by the source: Deep learning algorithm (traumatological imaging); other tools cited: IA CHU imagery of Nantes. Gather the information the prompt asks for. Strip confidential data that is not needed and check your tool’s access terms. Features and plans can change.

The method, in three steps.

  1. Gather the context

    Gather the information described in the prompt.

The prompt to customise
Clinked description (without identity, already reread): Alert IA:

List 5 signs to cross over the image. Remember us that IA does not replace reading. No diagnosis.

What deserves your attention

The study is retrospective; the software in routine does not have the same numbers published here. The doctor rereads the image before any decision is made.
