Purpose Early detection and classification of bone tumors in the proximal femur is crucial for their successful treatment. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model to classify bone tumors in the proximal femur on plain radiographs. Methods Standard anteroposterior hip radiographs were obtained from a single tertiary referral center. A total of 538 femoral images were set for the AI model training, including 94 with malignant, 120 with benign, and 324 without tumors. The image data were pre-processed to be optimized for training of the deep learning model. The state-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms were applied to pre-processed images to perform three-label classification (benign, malignant, or no tumor) on each femur. The performance of the CNN model was verified using fivefold cross-validation and was compared against that of four human doctors. Results The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of the best performing CNN model for the three-label classification was 0.953 (95% confidence interval, 0.926–0.980). The diagnostic accuracy of the model (0.853) was significantly higher than that of the four doctors (0.794) (P = 0.001) and also that of each doctor individually (0.811, 0.796, 0.757, and 0.814, respectively) (PConclusions The AI-based model demonstrated high performance in classifying the presence of bone tumors in the proximal femur on plain radiographs. Our findings suggest that AI-based technology can potentially reduce the misdiagnosis of doctors who are not specialists in musculoskeletal oncology. |
