This research paper explores the classification of knee osteoarthritis (OA) severity levels using advanced computer vision models and augmentation techniques. The study investigates the effectiveness of data preprocessing, including…

We introduce the deep network trained on the MURA dataset from the Stanford University released in 2017. Our system is able to detect bone abnormalities on the radiographs and visualise such zones. We found that our solution has the…

Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder that severely impacts mobility and quality of life, particularly among older adults. Its diagnosis often relies on subjective assessments using the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL)…

Artificial intelligence allows automatic extraction of imaging biomarkers from already-acquired radiologic images. This paradigm of opportunistic imaging adds value to medical imaging without additional imaging costs or patient radiation…

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disease without a cure, and current treatment options are limited to symptomatic relief. Prediction of OA progression is a very challenging and timely issue, and it could, if…

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders and requires early-stage diagnosis. Nowadays, the deep convolutional neural networks have achieved greatly in the computer-aided diagnosis field. However, the…

Uncertainty quantification plays a vital role in facilitating the practical implementation of AI in radiology by addressing growing concerns around trustworthiness. Given the challenges associated with acquiring large, annotated datasets in…

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) grading based on radiographic images is a critical yet challenging task due to subtle inter-grade differences, annotation uncertainty, and the inherently ordinal nature of disease progression. Conventional deep…

The performance of deep learning (DL) methods for the analysis of cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is typically assessed in terms of accuracy, overlooking precision. In this work, uncertainty estimation techniques, namely deep…

Deep learning models are being adopted and applied on various critical decision-making tasks, yet they are trained to provide point predictions without providing degrees of confidence. The trustworthiness of deep learning models can be…

Osteoporosis can be identified by looking at 2D x-ray images of the bone. The high degree of similarity between images of a healthy bone and a diseased one makes classification a challenge. A good bone texture characterization technique is…

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder and a leading cause of disability. Diagnosing OA severity typically requires expert assessment of X-ray images and is commonly based on the Kellgren-Lawrence grading system, a…

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disease in the world. In primary healthcare, knee OA is diagnosed using clinical examination and radiographic assessment. Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI)…

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) pose a significant clinical risk due to their potential for rupture, which is often asymptomatic but can be fatal. Although maximum diameter is commonly used for risk assessment, diameter alone is…

Pocket-sized, low-cost point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) devices are increasingly used in musculoskeletal (MSK) applications for structural examination of bone tissue. However, the image quality in MSK ultrasound is often limited by speckle…

The assessment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) severity on knee X-rays is a central criteria for the use of total knee arthroplasty. However, this assessment suffers from imprecise standards and a remarkably high inter-reader variability. An…

Osteoporosis is a common disease that increases fracture risk. Hip fractures, especially in elderly people, lead to increased morbidity, decreased quality of life and increased mortality. Being a silent disease before fracture, osteoporosis…

Introduction: Bone health disorders like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis pose major global health challenges, often leading to delayed diagnoses due to limited diagnostic tools. This study presents an AI-powered system that analyzes knee…

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder. OA diagnosis is currently conducted by assessing symptoms and evaluating plain radiographs, but this process suffers from subjectivity. In this study, we present a new…

Osteoporosis, a major global epidemic, often goes undetected until a fracture occurs, largely due to poor access to screening using gold standard methods, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). As a potential nonionizing radiation…
