Convolutional neural network to predict the local recurrence of giant cell tumor of bone after curettage based on pre-surgery magnetic resonance images

To predict the local recurrence of giant cell bone tumors (GCTB) on MR features and the clinical characteristics after curettage using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). MR images were collected from 56 patients with histopathologically confirmed GCTB after curettage who were followed up for 5.8 years (range, 2.0 to 9.5 years). The inception v3 CNN architecture was fine-tuned by two categories of the MR datasets (recurrent and...
