Comparative Analysis of Deep Convolutional Neural Network Models for Humerus Bone Fracture Detection

Abstract

Deep learning plays a key role in medical image processing. One of the applications of deep learning models in this domain is bone fracture detection from X-ray images. Convolutional neural network and its variants are used in wide range of medical image processing applications. MURA Dataset is commonly used in various studies that detect bone fractures and this work also uses that dataset, in specific the Humerus bone radiograph images. The humerus dataset in the MURA dataset contains both images with fracture and without fracture. The image with fracture includes images with metals which are removed in this work. Experimental analysis was made with two variants of convolutional neural network, DenseNet169 Model and the VGG Model. In case of the DenseNet169 model, a model with the pre trained weights of ImageNet and one without it is experimented. Results obtained with these variants of CNN are comparedand it shows that DenseNet169 model that uses pre-trained weights of ImageNet model performs better than the other two models.
