2016-05-21 17:26:55 Challenge: Dr. Smith had a 3-year old come into his clinic complaining about severe pain in his forearm, post a fall from his bicycle. The parents handed over an X-ray photograph of child’s arm as requested by the doctor. He could spot a slight abnormality in the image, but was unable to conclude if it was a hairline fracture or not. He wished for assistance which wouldn’t be as time consuming as seeking for another doctor’s opinion. Solution: “Medical Image Analysis” powered by pattern recognition services can detect anomalies in medical photographs which are all but invisible to the naked eye. It can process these anomalies to identify the patient’s condition and can prompt a recommendation for treatment. Result: Dr. Smith can feed the X-ray and seek assistance from this solution. As per the recommendation, a sling will be sufficient for so minor an injury and no plaster cast will be necessary. Some medication might be required to relieve the pain.
