Title
Detecting Osteophytes in Radiographs of the Knee to Diagnose Osteoarthritis.
Abstract
We present a fully automatic system for identifying osteophytes on knee radiographs, and for estimating the widely used Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade for Osteoarthritis (OA). We have compared three advanced modelling and texture techniques. We found that a Random Forest trained using Haar-features achieved good results, but the optimal results are obtained by combining shape modelling and texture features. The system achieves the best reported performance for identifying osteophytes (AUC: 0.85), for measuring KL grades and for classifying OA (AUC: 0.93), with an error rate half that of the previous best method.
