Xray specific model. fractures are relatively easy. Chest and abdomen xrays are hard. Very large chest xray datasets have been out for a long time (like from stanford). problem solving is done with ct, ultrasound, pet, mri, fluoroscopy, other nuclear scans.

I looked at my rib images for days trying to find the fracture. Couldn't do it. Could barely count the ribs. All my doctor friends found it right away though
Ok, yeah rib fractures on chest X-rays are hard also. Even extremity Fractures can be hard also. Some are not directly visible, but you can look for indirect signs such as hematomas displacing fat pads. Stress fractures show up only on mri or bone scans…
