Interosseous proximity maps, a proxy measure for joint space, can be generated from volumetric imaging data and may provide important information about wrist health. Artificial intelligence (AI) could enhance accuracy of noninvasive diagnosis based on imaging-derived metrics. This work demonstrates feasibility of AI training using synthetic proximity map data generated from finite element models (FEMs).<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Personalized wrist FEMs for two asymptomatic participants were created from four-dimensional computed tomography-derived anatomic and kinematic data. Monte Carlo sampling varied 22 ligament material properties and simulated 7,500 unique injury scenarios generating 9,000,000 labeled red, green, and blue (RGB) images of interosseous proximity vector fields from FEM-derived motions. Images were associated with 17 descriptive metrics, including gross wrist angles and bone surface pairs, and used to develop mixed-input convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Model performance was evaluated for identifying specific ligament injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Average area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for CNNs was 0.757 across all injury types and kinematics. In a subset with clinically-relevant functional angles, the average AUROC was 0.824. Best-performing individual ligament AUROCs ranged from 0.807 to 0.999. Sensitivities and specificities exceeded 0.99 for some ligament injury simulations under specific wrist angles and bone surface pairs.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study demonstrates the feasibility of using synthetic data from FEMs to train AI models for classifying wrist ligament injuries.
