Abstract

Joint disease of the knee called osteoarthritis may affect one or both knee joints at the same time. osteoarthritis is frequently called 'wear and tear' arthritis because of the dynamic degradation of articular cartilage it causes. Cartilage is a tough, flexible layer that protects the joints from injury while still allowing them to move freely. Osteoarthritis causes cartilage to stiffen and crack, increasing the risk of rupture. In our studies, we're trying to figure out whether osteoarthritis (OA) develops at any age. Around 27 million Americans are living with OA, according to government health officials. We devised a new method for detecting osteoarthritis (OA) in images by using machine learning techniques in image processing. This method is more accurate in identifying the degree of knee OA than existing approaches, which fall short in terms of accuracy.
