BONE EXTRACTION IN X-RAY IMAGES BY ANALYSIS OF LINE FLUCTUATIONS

Project Code :TMMAIP422

Objective

A new bone segmentation method uses noise reduction and edge detection, analysing intensity fluctuations for more accurate results. It outperforms existing techniques, benefiting medical imaging.

Abstract

Segmentation of X-ray bone images is vital in medical contexts like osteoporosis and fracture detection, yet remains challenging due to image brightness variations, hindering bone, soft tissue, and background differentiation. Traditional segmentation methods like active contour and region growing offer solutions, but their effectiveness varies due to diverse bone structures and lighting conditions. This paper introduces a novel bone segmentation approach involving preprocessing steps like noise cancellation and edge detection. By analysing intensity fluctuations across all image rows, this method achieves more precise bone region segmentation. Visual assessments demonstrate superior performance compared to conventional and recent segmentation methods. This technique offers a promising avenue for improved accuracy in medical image analysis, potentially enhancing diagnostic processes for conditions like osteoporosis and fractures.

Keywords: X-ray, bone segmentation, noise cancellation, edge detection.
