Abstract

In this work, we are trying to implement the segmentation of an X-ray image for cervical spondylosis detection. One of the major concerns of that particular disease is faster detection and identification of diseases in previous stages. According to the opinion of clinical experts, today’s X-ray tomography method is the most effective technology in medical science domain for easily diagnosis of particular cervical diseases. Segmentation is a kind of approach that is used to identify the unambiguous region from the particular X-ray image. Today, the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis becomes one of the challenging work. MRI and CT scans used by a doctor for manual inspection is already available. So our proposed method which is automatically detect and analyze the cervical spondylosis using morphological segmentation and edge detection and classification-based approach. The results of this study gaining more than 90% accuracy and sensitivity for identifying and classifying the cervical diseases in X-ray images more accurately. Here, the experimental performance shows better PSNR and MSE values for image quality measurement of the detection of cervical spondylosis more accurately.
