The use of machine learning models for subdural hematoma detection: a single-arm meta-analysis
Manual evaluation of non-contrast CT scans (NCTS) for detecting subdural hematoma (SDH) is time consuming, potentially inaccurate, and subjective to the expert analyzing them. In recent years, two deep learning (DL) algorithms have been popularly studied in this respect, namely convolutional neural networks (CNN) and U-Net architectures, the latter being a specialized type of CNN. We performed the first meta-analysis comparing various DL models for SDH detection. MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, and Embase databases w…
Pooled testing of deep learning models for subdural hematoma detection on non-contrast CT achieved high diagnostic performance, with U-Net models showing significantly higher sensitivity and precision than other architectures.
Comparison is imbalanced with only 4 pooled U-Net datasets versus 22 pooled CNN datasets, requiring future well-powered studies before definitive conclusions about superiority.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0676 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
