# Fracture Check

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Screens hand, arm, leg, hip and shoulder X-rays for possible fractures, shows a heatmap of where the model looked, and marks the likely break. A student research project for learning, not for medical decisions.

Fracture Check is a kit in the Research category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

## About

### What it is

Fracture Check screens X-rays of the hand, arm, leg, hip or shoulder for signs of a fracture. It estimates whether a break is present, draws a heatmap of where the model looked, and marks the most likely spot. The same page holds notes on how the output is read and a general care guide for fractures.

### Who it suits

It suits students and hobbyists who want to see how a medical imaging model works from upload to result. Anyone learning about explainable image models can use it as a worked example.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Education | Computer science students | Study how a classifier, a heatmap and a detector fit together | Compare the heatmap with the marked box on one X-ray |
| Research | Medical imaging researchers | Look at a small public-dataset baseline | Read the test results next to the model card |
| Teaching | Instructors | Show an explainable model live in a browser | Upload an X-ray during a class demo |
| Health education | Curious readers | Read the care guide and the reading help | Learn what the result screen means |

Anyone who needs a real diagnosis should skip it, since only a clinician reading the film counts.

### Where to use it

You can run it in two places.

- A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face
- Windows, macOS or Linux, as a local copy run with Python 3.12

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fracture estimate | Students | An estimate of whether the X-ray shows a fracture |
| Heatmap | Learners | A picture of the area the model focused on |
| Break marker | Researchers | A box placed on the most likely break |
| Care guide | Readers | General notes on fracture care and on reading the result |

### How to set it up

The online page needs nothing installed. A local copy needs the following.

- Python 3.12
- Windows, macOS or Linux
- The Python packages listed in requirements.txt

1. Install Python 3.12.
2. Install the Hugging Face hub package and download a copy of the Space.
3. Move into the new folder and install Gradio 6.31.0 and the packages in requirements.txt.
4. Start the app with python app.py.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download akinchanJain7/fracture-check --repo-type space --local-dir fracture-check
cd fracture-check
pip install gradio==6.31.0
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

### How to use it

Upload one X-ray showing a hand, an arm, a leg, a hip or a shoulder, then read the estimate, the heatmap and the marked box. On a local copy, this command starts the page.

```sh
python app.py
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| ConvNeXt-Tiny classifier | Estimates whether the X-ray shows a fracture |
| Grad-CAM heatmap | Shows where the classifier looked |
| Faster R-CNN detector | Marks where the break most likely is |
| Care guide | Explains how to read the result and gives general fracture care notes |

### Example

You upload an X-ray of a hand. The page answers with the classifier's estimate of whether a fracture is present, a heatmap of the area it focused on, and a box on the likely break.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new to this, open the Space in a browser and upload one X-ray. Look at the heatmap first, then at the box, and see whether they point to the same area.

If you know the field, the stack is a ConvNeXt-Tiny classifier with Grad-CAM for explanation and a Faster R-CNN detector for localization, trained on the FracAtlas dataset. In a one-time test on 589 X-rays, 102 of them fractured, the classifier found 94 of the fractures. It also cleared 71% of the X-rays with no fracture. In 75% of the fractured X-rays, the detector's first box sat on the fracture.

Upload an X-ray → ConvNeXt-Tiny estimates a fracture → Grad-CAM draws a heatmap → Faster R-CNN marks the likely break → Page explains the result

### Good to know

It is a student research project and not a medical device. Do not use it to decide whether to seek care.

- License: MIT
- Cost to run: none named
- Data it reaches: the X-ray you upload, and at start-up app.py fetches its code from GitHub and its models from the model repo
- Not for: deciding whether to seek care, or replacing a doctor's reading of an X-ray
- Dataset: FracAtlas, shared under CC BY 4.0
