Early Discrimination of Periprosthetic Hip Infections Using Neural Networks (SEPTIC-ANNR)

Cellular neural networks-genetic algorithm applied to conventional radiographs of hip implants with a well-established diagnosis of loosening. The study is not intended to use a software without a CE mark as a medical device, or to use the software as a tool to diagnose or prevent human disease, according to Directive 93/42 / European Economic Community. The study will evaluate if the software, properly calibrated, is able to recognize with adequate accuracy infections already diagnosed with validated methods.
