Knee-Osteoarthritis Detection Using Deep Learning

Arthritis is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, inflammation, and other symptoms in one or more joints. It is more common in older adults and tends to worsen with age. There are different types of arthritis, but osteoarthritis is the most prevalent. A study discusses the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for detecting knee osteoarthritis. CNN is a deep learning algorithm that can analyze data and classify images accurately, like the human brain. The purpose of this study is to classify different knee X-ray images to predict the severity of the disorder, allowing for early detection and lifestyle changes to prevent the disease from worsening. An online tool has been developed to diagnose knee osteoarthritis and provide remedies based on various K-grade predictions. This tool can help patients understand their knee's condition and take necessary measures to manage the disease.
