Summary

This study tested an AI software called MSK Go that is designed to help doctors perform ultrasound exams of joints like the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle. Researchers collected ultrasound images from 79 volunteers and checked how well the AI could identify the correct views and key structures. The goal was to see if the software is safe and effective enough for future use in clinics.
