AI demonstrates promise in RCT diagnosis, aiding clinicians in interpreting complex imaging data. Deep learning frameworks, particularly convoluted neural networks architectures, exhibit remarkable diagnostic accuracy in detecting RCTs on magnetic resonance imaging. Advanced segmentation algorithms improve anatomic visualization and surgical planning. AI-assisted radiograph interpretation proves effective in ruling out full-thickness tears. Machine learning models predict RCT diagnosis and postoperative outcomes, enhancing personalized patient care. Challenges include small data sets and classification complexities, especially for partial thickness tears. Current applications of AI in RCT management are promising yet experimental. The potential of AI to revolutionize personalized, efficient, and accurate care for RCT patients is evident.
