Title

Automatic Classification System For Lumbar Spine X-Ray Images

Abstract

Existing computer-based spinal stenosis diagnosis systems are not fully automatic. Their performance depends on the knowledge and experience of the user. Such a system is typically intended for specialists such as radiologists. We present in this paper a fully automatic system, more suitable for general practitioners for use in screening and initial diagnosis. To evaluate the performance of the proposed techniques, we build a system prototype with two environments - one for managing training images and building the classifiers, and the other environment for diagnosis use in practice. Our experimental results, based on an X-ray image database NHANES II available from the National Library of Medicine, indicates that the proposed system is effective for screening purposes. © 2006 IEEE.
