摘要

Long-term morbidity and death are linked to spinal trauma injuries. Tragic neurological impairment might result from spinal trauma that causes harm to the spinal cord. To avoid additional neurologic deterioration, spinal cord damage and mechanical imbalance must be diagnosed and treated promptly. Understanding the fundamental imaging methods is necessary for spine surgeons to diagnose, treat, and predict spinal cord injuries. Early detection and diagnosis of spinal cord injury can improve the patient's neurological condition. Thereby, the developed work concerns proposing a novel spinal injury detection model using CT images. Primarily, Wiener Filtering (WF) is employed for preprocessing the CT image. Then, segmentation is done with an Improved attention-based mask RCNN (IA-MRCNN) approach. The next phase is to extract features, during which, modified Local Gabor Transitional Pattern (LGTP), PHOG and color features are derived. For spinal injury detection, Bi-LSTM and modified Link Net (MLNet) classifiers are adopted to determine if a fracture exists or not. From the analysis, the proposed MLNet + Bi-LSTM attained a better accuracy of 0.956 for 90% training data when compared to existing methods.
