contents Early detection of an infection prior to prosthesis removal (e.g., hips, knees or other areas) would provide significant benefits to patients. Currently, the detection task is carried out only retrospectively with a limited number of methods relying on biometric or other medical data. The automatic detection of a periprosthetic joint infection from tomography imaging is a task never addressed before. This study introduces a novel method for early detection of the hip prosthesis infections analyzing Computed Tomography images. The proposed solution is based on a novel ResNeSt Convolutional Neural Network architecture trained on samples from more than 100 patients. The solution showed exceptional performance in detecting infections with an experimental high level of accuracy and F-score.
