The intelligent rib fracture CT image detection system based on deep learning according to claim 7, characterized in that: The pseudo-contour box optimization mechanism for constructing critical value screening is based on the initial pseudo-contour box output by the guidance unit, sets a two-dimensional screening standard, and finally constructs the back-inference loss of the fracture area.

9. The intelligent rib fracture CT image detection system based on deep learning according to claim 8, characterized in that: The rib CT image acquisition module acquires historical rib fracture CT images; performs preprocessing and annotation; and obtains a preliminary rib CT image set.

10. The intelligent rib fracture CT image detection system based on deep learning according to claim 9, characterized in that: The rib fracture CT image detection module acquires rib fracture CT images in real time, preprocesses and enhances the rib CT images, and then inputs them into the rib CT image detection model. Based on the model's output results, rib fracture CT image detection is achieved.
