The bone fracture is a common problem in human beings
occurs due to high pressure is applied on bone or simple
accident and also due to osteoporosis and bone cancer.
Therefore the accurate diagnosis of bone fracture is important
aspects in medical field. In this work X-ray/CT images are
used for bone fracture analysis. The aim of this project is to
develop an image processing based efficient system for a
quick and accurate classification of bone fractures based on
the information gained from the x-ray / CT images. Images of
the fractured bone are obtained from hospital and processing
techniques like pre-processing, segmentation, edge detection
and feature extraction methods are adopted. The processed
images will be further classified into fractured and nonfractured
bone and compare the accuracy of different
methods. This project is fully employed MATLAB 7.8.0 as
the programming tool for loading image, image processing
and user interface development. Results obtained demonstrate
the performance of the bone fracture detection system with
some limitations and good accuracy of 85%.
