Computer Based Bone Breakage Detection using Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

X-Ray is one of the most commonly used medium to extract the images of any bone in the body.Fracture of a bone is most common in recent days due to accidents or any means.In order to detect whether there is a fracture or not the orthopaedics suggest for x-ray.In many places due to more patients there might be a delay of doctor consult which may leads to the increase in the severity of problem.In order to avoid this we have proposed an automatic bone fracture detection system where a system is trained about the fractures and further used to detect the fractures in a bone in the x-ray images.ANN,PNN.BPNN are the classifiers used for bone fracture detection where BPNN has given more prominent results compared to ANN and PNN with an accuracy of 82%.
