Bone Fracture Detection Using CNN

Domain Introduction
• Image processing is a method to perform some operations on an image, in order to get an enhanced image
or to extract some useful information from it.

• It is a type of signal processing in which input is an image and output may be image or
characteristics/features associated with that image.

• Nowadays, image processing is among rapidly growing technologies. It forms core research area within
engineering and computer science disciplines too.
• Image processing basically includes the following three steps:

• Importing the image via image acquisition tools;

• Analyzing and manipulating the image;

• Output in which result can be altered image or report that is based on image analysis.
 Abstract
• Bone fracture detection is a critical task in medical diagnostics, requiring accurate and timely identification
of fractures from medical imaging data.

• In recent years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have emerged as powerful tools for automated
medical image analysis due to their ability to learn complex patterns and features directly from raw data.

• In this study, we propose a CNN-based approach for bone fracture detection, leveraging deep learning
techniques to classify radiographic images as either fractured or non-fractured.

• Our model is trained on a large dataset of labeled X-ray images and achieves high accuracy in fracture
detection, outperforming traditional methods and demonstrating the potential for CNNs to revolutionize
fracture diagnosis in clinical settings. This research contributes to the advancement of computer-aided
diagnosis systems in healthcare, offering a fast, reliable, and scalable solution for detecting bone fractures
from medical images.
 Objectives
The main objective of our project is,

• • To predict or to classify the input image is affected by fractured or not.

• • To implement the feature extraction algorithms for more efficient.

• • To implement the different deep learning algorithms.

• • To enhance the overall performance for classification algorithms.

 Introduction
• The detection and classification of bone fractures are pivotal tasks in modern medical diagnostics

• . Accurate and timely identification of fractures not only facilitates appropriate treatment planning but
also significantly impacts patient outcomes and healthcare management.

• Conventionally, the detection of bone fractures relies heavily on the expertise of radiologists, who
interpret radiographic images obtained through X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans. However, this manual
interpretation process is inherently subjective, time-consuming, and prone to errors, leading to delays in
diagnosis and treatment initiation.

• The advent of deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has revolutionized
various domains, including medical imaging.
 Existing system
• In existing system, traditionally, the detection of bone fractures has heavily relied on radiographic imaging
techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans.

• These imaging modalities provide detailed anatomical information and are routinely used in clinical
practice for fracture assessment. However, the interpretation of radiographic images is predominantly
performed manually by trained radiologists or orthopedic surgeons, which can be time-consuming and
subjective.

• To augment human interpretation and improve diagnostic accuracy, various computer-aided diagnosis
(CAD) systems have been developed for automated fracture detection. These CAD systems utilize image
processing algorithms and machine learning techniques to analyse radiographic images and identify regions
of interest (ROIs) suggestive of fractures.
 Disadvantages
• It is not efficient for large number of datasets.

• The prediction results is not efficient.

• Time consumption is high.

 Proposed system
• In proposed system, the input image is taken from dataset repository. In pre-processing, we can resize the
original image and gray scale conversion.

• After that, we can extract the features from pre-processed image such as LBP, GLCM and Mean Median
Variance.

• We can split the images into test image and train image. Then, we can implement the different deep
learning algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for classifying the input image is
fractured or not.

• Finally, the system can estimate some performance metrics such as accuracy and error rate. The
effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed by comparing accuracy improvement.
 Advantages

• It is efficient for large number of datasets.

• The experimental result is high when compared with existing system.

• Time consumption is low.

Modules Description
 Input image
• • The dataset, fracture image disease dataset is implemented as input. The dataset is taken from
dataset repository. The input dataset is in the format ‘.png, ‘.jpg.

• • In this step, we have to read or load the input image by using the imread () function.

• • In our process, we are used the tkinter file dialogue box for selecting the input image.
 Preprocessing
• In our process, we have to resize the image and convert the image into gray scale.

• To resize an image, you call the resize () method on it, passing in a two-integer tuple argument
representing the width and height of the resized image.

• The function doesn't modify the used image; it instead returns another Image with the new dimensions.

• Convert an Image to Grayscale in Python Using the Conversion Formula and the matplotlib Library.

• We can also convert an image to grayscale using the standard RGB to grayscale conversion formula that
is imgGray = 0.2989 * R + 0.5870 * G + 0.1140 * B.
 Feature Extraction
• In our process, we have to extract the features from pre-processed image.

• Standard deviation is the spread of a group of numbers from the mean.

• The variance measures the average degree to which each point differs from the mean.

• Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is an effective texture descriptor for images which thresholds the neighboring
pixels based on the value of the current pixel .

• LBP descriptors efficiently capture the local spatial patterns and the gray scale contrast in an image.

• • GLCM stands for Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix, which is a widely used texture analysis
technique in image processing and computer vision. It quantifies the spatial relationships of pixel intensity
values in an image, providing information about texture properties such as roughness, smoothness, and
coarseness.
 Image splitting
• During the machine learning process, data are needed so that learning can take place.

• In addition to the data required for training, test data are needed to evaluate the performance of the
algorithm in order to see how well it works.

• In our process, we considered 70% of the input dataset to be the training data and the remaining 30% to
be the testing data.

• Data splitting is the act of partitioning available data into two portions, usually for cross-validator
purposes.
 Classification
• In our process, we can implement the deep learning algorithm such as CNN.

• A CNN is a kind of network architecture for deep learning algorithms and is specifically used for
image recognition and tasks that involve the processing of pixel data.

• There are other types of neural networks in deep learning, but for identifying and recognizing
objects, CNNs are the network architecture of choice.

• • CNNs, or Convolutional Neural Networks, are a class of deep neural networks primarily
used for image recognition, classification, segmentation, and other tasks related to visual perception.
They are inspired by the organization of the visual cortex in animals, where neurons have small
receptive fields and respond to stimuli in specific regions of the visual field..
Result
 Performance metrics
• The Final Result will get generated based on the overall classification and prediction. The performance
of this proposed approach is evaluated using some measures like,

Accuracy

• Accuracy of classifier refers to the ability of classifier. It predicts the class label correctly and the
accuracy of the predictor refers to how well a given predictor can guess the value of predicted attribute
for a new data.

AC= (TP+TN)/ (TP+TN+FP+FN)

• Then, we can detect or to classify the input image is affected by fractured or not.
