Deep Learning Methods in the Diagnosis of Sacroiliitis from Plain Pelvic Radiographs.

Successful results were obtained with all three models in this study where transfer learning was applied with pre-trained VGG-16, ResNet-101 and Inception-v3 networks. This method can assist clinicians in the diagnosis of sacroiliitis, provide them with a second objective interpretation, and also reduce the need for advanced imaging methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
