Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed a Deep Learning (DL)-based framework, namely OsteoHRNet, that automatically assesses the Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) severity from X-rays images.
This AI-based model can be used to detect the severity level of the disease and assist medical practitioners remotely for a more accurate diagnosis.
Knee Osteoarthritis is the most common musculoskeletal disorder in the world and has a prevalence of 28 percent in India.
MRI and CT scans provide a 3-D image of the knee joints for effective diagnosis of Knee OA but their availability is limited and expensive. For routine diagnosis, X-Ray imaging is very effective and more economically feasible.
The AI-based model uses an efficient Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) i.e an algorithm from image recognition.
