Knee X Ray

Knee X-ray analysis is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring knee osteoarthritis (OA), a debilitating joint disease. Current research focuses on developing automated systems using deep learning, particularly diffusion models and convolutional neural networks, to improve the accuracy and objectivity of OA severity grading, often surpassing inter-reader variability among radiologists. These algorithms aim to provide more consistent and efficient assessments, potentially leading to better treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes. Furthermore, research is exploring alternative grading scales beyond the traditional Kellgren-Lawrence system to better capture the nuances of OA progression.
