A Hybrid CNN-RNN Approach for Accurate Prediction of Osteoporosis
摘要
This paper proposes a new methodology which fuses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to embed spatial information and Recurrent Neural Network (RNNs) to incorporate temporal context, achieving the detection of osteoporosis. Our model improves prediction of osteoporosis by combining spatial features from bone images with temporal progression data. Moreover, patient covariates including age, sex, and medical history have been integrated for the sake of model robustness. This method outperforms traditional approaches; the new proposed method provides a comprehensive approach to aid in early diagnosis and individualized planning for osteoporosis treatment. This method improves the diagnostic sensitivity for osteoporosis. The proposed approach has achieved a 7% better accuracy than traditional CNN models.
