Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative condition that can impact several joints in the body, including the knee, hip, spine, and hand, with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) being the most widespread form worldwide. Deep learning methods in computer-aided medical diagnosis have established the potential to achieve diagnostic performance comparable to that of expert medical professionals in identifying knee osteoarthritis. In this study, MRI scans were employed due to their high-resolution capabilities. We applied transfer learning by fine-tuning the VGG-16, EfficientNetB0, DenseNet169, and MobileNetV3Large models, which were subsequently integrated into a weighted mean ensemble method to improve performance. This approach yielded promising results, achieving an overall accuracy of 92.5%.

摘要

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative condition that can impact several joints in the body, including the knee, hip, spine, and hand, with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) being the most widespread form worldwide. Deep learning methods in computer-aided medical diagnosis have established the potential to achieve diagnostic performance comparable to that of expert medical professionals in identifying knee osteoarthritis. In this study, MRI scans were employed due to their high-resolution capabilities. We applied transfer learning by fine-tuning the VGG-16, EfficientNetB0, DenseNet169, and MobileNetV3Large models, which were subsequently integrated into a weighted mean ensemble method to improve performance. This approach yielded promising results, achieving an overall accuracy of 92.5%.
