BoneView assistance for emergency X-ray interpretation
Northern Trust put BoneView into emergency care to assist fracture detection
Problem
Emergency and minor-injury clinicians needed to interpret X-rays promptly while limiting missed fractures.
Approach
Northern Trust became the first Northern Ireland trust to implement BoneView in 2025. The BSO-led NIPACS+ programme deployed the imaging algorithm to assist clinicians reading injury X-rays. It supported assessment for fractures and other acute findings, with clinicians retaining responsibility for decisions.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
BoneView entered routine clinical work through the existing regional imaging programme. No trust-specific accuracy or waiting-time improvement was quantified.
