Classification and Detection of Bone Fracture Using Machine Learning

Abstract

Abstract: Technologies that are rapidly growing are appearing every day in a variety of disciplines, particularly the medical one. However, there are still certain outdated methods that are still widely used, effective, and efficient. One of these methods is the use of X-rays to identify damaged bones . However, sometimes the number of fractures is insignificant and difficult to see. Systems should be created that are efficient and intelligent. In this study, an artificial classification system that can recognise and categorise bone fractures is being developed. There are two main steps in the system that has been designed. The photos of the fractures are processed in the first stage using various image processing techniques to identify their position and shapes. The classification phase follows, in which a back propagation neural network training on the processed images before being put to the test. The system was put to the test experimentally on various photographs of bone fractures, and the results indicate high performance as well as a classification rate.
