Early and accurate detection of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is crucial for preventing joint degeneration and ensuring early treatment. Traditional diagnostic methods based on radiographic interpretation, such as the Kellgren-Lawrence classification system, are highly subjective and prone to inter-observer variability. In this paper, we present a hybrid deep learning approach for automatically segmenting and classifying KOA severity from X-ray images. Unlike traditional models, our system incorporates domain-specific knowledge to improve interpretability and generalizability across clinical datasets, enabling more reliable diagnoses even with previously unseen data.

摘要

Early and accurate detection of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is crucial for preventing joint degeneration and ensuring early treatment. Traditional diagnostic methods based on radiographic interpretation, such as the Kellgren-Lawrence classification system, are highly subjective and prone to inter-observer variability. In this paper, we present a hybrid deep learning approach for automatically segmenting and classifying KOA severity from X-ray images. Unlike traditional models, our system incorporates domain-specific knowledge to improve interpretability and generalizability across clinical datasets, enabling more reliable diagnoses even with previously unseen data.
