Abstract

Background: Screening for elbow osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) using ultrasound (US) is essential for early detection and successful conservative treatment. The aim of the study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of YOLOv8, a deep-learning-based artificial intelligence model, for US images of OCD or normal elbow-joint images. Methods: A total of 2430 images were used. Using the YOLOv8 model, image classification and object detection were performed to recognize OCD lesions or standard views of normal elbow joints. Results: In the binary classification of normal and OCD lesions, the values from the confusion matrix were the following: Accuracy = 0.998, Recall = 0.9975, Precision = 1.000, and F-measure = 0.9987. The mean average precision (mAP) comparing the bounding box detected by the trained model with the true-label bounding box was 0.994 in the YOLOv8n model and 0.995 in the YOLOv8m model. Conclusions: The YOLOv8 model was trained for image classification and object detection of standard views of elbow joints and OCD lesions. Both tasks were able to be achieved with high accuracy and may be useful for mass screening at medical check-ups for baseball elbow.
