Abstract

This paper introduces automatic, reliable bone abnormality detection using Multi-view X-rays. The introduced method considers the seven extremity upper bones: shoulder, humerus, forearm, elbow, wrist, hand, and finger. For this purpose, three different CNN models are examined. The images are first enhanced by utilizing adaptive histogram equalization. After that, the enhanced multi-views images are fed into MobileNet [18], Inception [20], and DenseNet169 [21] CNN models to detect the bones’ abnormality. The majority voting is applied to obtain the final decision for multi-view X-rays of a bone. The average sensitivity achieved is 74.32%, 80.03%, and 85.79% and the average Specificity achieved is 92.66%, 86.99%, and 84.76% by utilizing MobileNet, Inception DenseNet169 models respectively. All the experiments were carried out using the MURA dataset.
