Abstract:
Background:
In recent years, automated grading of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has focused on determining disease progression. Clinical examinations and
radiographic image review are necessary for diagnosis. Timely and accurate diagnosis, along with medical care, can slow down KOA progression.
X-rays and MRI are crucial diagnostic tools. KOA diagnosis traditionally relies on radiologists' and clinicians' experience. However, the rapid
development of deep learning technology (AI) offers promising solutions for medical applications.
Objective:
The objective of this study was to review and summarize various methods proposed by researchers for the automated grading of KOA.
Additionally, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of the AlexNet model in classifying the severity of KOA. The performance of the
AlexNet model has been compared to that of other models, and the results have been assessed.
Methods:
A comprehensive review of existing research on automated grading of KOA has been conducted. Various methods proposed by different
researchers have been examined and summarized. The AlexNet model has been employed for classifying the severity of KOA, and its performance
has been evaluated. A comparative analysis has been carried out to compare the performance of the AlexNet model with that of other models. The
results obtained from the evaluation have been assessed to determine the effectiveness of the AlexNet model in the automated grading of KOA.
Results:
The results of the study indicate that the AlexNet model demonstrates promising performance in classifying the severity of KOA. Comparative
analysis reveals that the AlexNet model outperforms other models in terms of accuracy and efficiency. The evaluation of the model's performance
provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of deep learning techniques for automated grading of KOA.
Conclusion:
This study highlights the significance of automated grading in the diagnosis and management of knee osteoarthritis. The utilization of deep
learning technology, particularly the AlexNet model, shows promise in accurately classifying the severity of KOA. The findings suggest that
automated grading methods can serve as valuable tools for healthcare professionals in assessing the progression of KOA and providing appropriate
medical care. Further research and development in this area can contribute to enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of automated grading systems
for KOA.
