Unveiling the Spectrum: Versatile Image Processing Techniques in Bone Fracture Detection - A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

India has more than 3,000 accidents every day, according to a global data analysis released by the World Health Organization. Because the bones are rigid, they provide protection for the vital organs of the human body, such as the heart, brain, lungs, and other internal organs. Treating people who have broken bones requires locating the fractures in their bones. Fragility fractures, which result from weakening bones, are linked to a reduction in quality of life and a loss of independence. One of the most popular methods for identifying problems with the human body's organs and bones is to get X-ray Images. Furthermore, more recent methods like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), microwave imaging (MWI), and computer tomography (CT) are studied. It is the goal of this review paper to educate the research community about the different kinds of image processing techniques available for bone fracture detection and the facilities that hospitals have available for accurate diagnosis. It also serves as a guide for future researchers to understand the procedures needed for the detection of bone fracture.
