The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is very common progressive and degenerative musculoskeletal disease worldwide creates a heavy burden on patients with reduced quality of life and also on society due to financial impact. Therefore, any attempt to reduce the burden of the disease could help both patients and society. In this study, we propose a fully automated novel method, based on combination of joint shape and convolutional neural network (CNN) based bone texture features, to distinguish between the knee radiographs with and without radiographic osteoarthritis. Moreover, we report the first attempt at describing the bone texture using CNN. Knee radiographs from Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) and Multicenter Osteoarthritis (MOST) studies were used in the experiments. Our models were trained on 8953 knee radiographs from OAI and evaluated on 3445 knee radiographs from MOST. Our results demonstrate that fusing the proposed shape and texture parameters achieves the state-of-the art performance in radiographic OA detection yielding area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 95.21%

Original abstract

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is very common progressive and degenerative musculoskeletal disease worldwide creates a heavy burden on patients with reduced quality of life and also on society due to financial impact. Therefore, any attempt to reduce the burden of the disease could help both patients and society. In this study, we propose a fully automated novel method, based on combination of joint shape and convolutional neural network (CNN) based bone texture features, to distinguish between the knee radiographs with and without radiographic osteoarthritis. Moreover, we report the first attempt at describing the bone texture using CNN. Knee radiographs from Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) and Multicenter Osteoarthritis (MOST) studies were used in the experiments. Our models were trained on 8953 knee radiographs from OAI and evaluated on 3445 knee radiographs from MOST. Our results demonstrate that fusing the proposed shape and texture parameters achieves the state-of-the art performance in radiographic OA detection yielding area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 95.21%
