The bottom left shows semantic segmentation annotations for the bones and orthopedic hardware. The bottom right are more specific segmentations for bony corridors that the procedure is targeting.

X-ray vision: Tech could improve efficiency of pelvic fracture surgery

Johns Hopkins researchers harness the power of machine learning to develop a first approach to X-ray-guided surgical phase recognition.
