Abstract

The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize the results of original research studies evaluating the characteristics and performance of deep learning models for detection of knee ligament and meniscus tears on MRI.We searched PubMed for studies published as of February 2, 2022 for original studies evaluating development and evaluation of deep learning models for MRI diagnosis of knee ligament or meniscus tears. We summarized study details according to multiple criteria including baseline article details, model creation, deep learning details, and model evaluation.19 studies were included with radiology departments leading the publications in deep learning development and implementation for detecting knee injuries via MRI. Among the studies, there was a lack of standard reporting and inconsistently described development details. However, all included studies reported consistently high model performance that significantly supplemented human reader performance.From our review, we found radiology departments have been leading deep learning development for injury detection on knee MRIs. Although studies inconsistently described DL model development details, all reported high model performance, indicating great promise for DL in knee MRI analysis.© 2023.
