Abstract

Osteoporosis is a word used to describe a condition in which bone density has been diminished as a result of inadequate bone tissue development to counteract the elimination of old bone tissue. Osteoporosis diagnosis is made possible by the use of medical imaging technologies such as CT scans, dual X-ray, and X-ray images. In practice, there are various osteoporosis diagnostic methods that may be performed with a single imaging modality to aid in the diagnosis of the disease. The proposed study is to develop a framework, that is, to aid in the diagnosis of osteoporosis which agrees to all of these CT scans, X-ray, and dual X-ray imaging modalities. The framework will be implemented in the near future. The proposed work, CBTCNNOD, is the integration of 3 functional modules. The functional modules are a bilinear filter, grey-level zone length matrix, and CB-CNN. It is constructed in a manner that can provide crisp osteoporosis diagnostic reports based on the images that are fed into the system. All 3 modules work together to improve the performance of the proposed approach, CBTCNNOD, in terms of accuracy by 10.38%, 10.16%, 7.86%, and 14.32%; precision by 11.09%, 9.08%, 10.01%, and 16.51%; sensitivity by 9.77%, 10.74%, 6.20%, and 12.78%; and specificity by 11.01%, 9.52%, 9.5%, and 15.84%, while requiring less processing time of 33.52%, 17.79%, 23.34%, and 10.86%, when compared to the existing techniques of RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV, respectively.

1. Introduction

Osteoporosis (OTPS) is a disease that is caused by a lack of bone tissue development in the body. Osteoporosis is thought to be caused mostly by a lack of oestrogen in women and a lack of androgen in males, respectively. There are various subaltern causes of osteoporosis that are associated with it, including changes in one’s way of life. If OTPS is not treated at an early stage, it will progress to become chronic as a result of the aging process [1]. Several clinical investigations have shown that early identification of osteoporosis improves the efficiency of therapy by a substantial margin [2]. When it comes to detecting osteoporosis, the Bone Mineral Density Test (BMD Test) will be the first step. When there is a suspicious body region, a BMD test is conducted using a bone X-ray. A more accurate osteoporosis diagnostic method makes use of dual X-rays, which are known by the name Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) imaging procedure, which is more commonly used in Europe. The CT scan is the most sensitive and precise technology employed in the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

In order to detect the onset of osteoporosis during bone breaks, X-ray imaging is employed [3]. This first trigger is also advised for subsequent diagnosis utilising the DEXA imaging method, which will help to find the stages of osteoporosis with high accuracy [4, 5]. It is used to detect osteoporosis in bone joints, where X-ray images are less accurate, such as the hip joint. Compared to other imaging techniques, critical bone areas such as the spine visuals can be obtained by computed tomography (CT) scan imaging [6, 7].

Many researchers used the following images generated by X-ray, CT scan, and DEXA to categorize the severity of osteoporosis based on the bone mineral density per scanned unit bone area (mgcm²). The typical bone has a BMD of more than 833 mgcm², which indicates that it is healthy. It is termed osteopenia when the bone mineral density (BMD) is between 648 mgcm² and 833 mgcm², which is the first stage of osteoporosis. It is considered osteoporotic if the BMD is less than 648 mgcm². The BMD value has a noticeable influence on the microarchitecture of the trabecular bone matrix.

Medical image processing (MIP) is a term that is widely used to refer to digital image processing which employs in medical industry. MIP encompasses both frequency domain image processing and spatial domain image processing [8, 9], it is used to process both types of images. Identifying and emphasizing the areas and limits in X-ray, DEXA, and CT scan pictures resolve assist medical experts in providing more accurate prescriptions to their patients. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) breakthroughs in recent years have made it possible to automate the process of producing diagnostic reports [10, 11]. The automated diagnosis of osteoporosis using CT images, X-rays, and DEXA is devised in this study by taking use of the advantages of artificial neural networks (ANNs). There are a variety of approaches for diagnosing osteoporosis that have been developed and are now in use. Countless of the approaches work by pictures from a single medical imaging procedure, although a few of them accept photos from all medical imaging processes, including X-rays, DEXA scans, and CT scans. A carefully chosen group of high-performance, recently published, recognized works is presented here in order to better grasp the current efforts, approaches, and constraints. This study aimed to predict osteoporosis via simple hip radiography using a deep learning algorithm. The goal of this work was to use a deep learning system to predict osteoporosis using basic hip radiography [12]. The suggested approach shows tremendous promise in opportunistic osteoporosis screening without incurring extra costs. This model is believed to help diagnose osteoporosis as early as possible, preventing major problems such as osteoporosis fractures using CT images [13].

Contribution of the proposed work is as follows:(1)For preprocessing, bilinear filter is used(2)For feature extraction, grey-level zone length matrix is used(3)For classification, Channel-Boosted Transfer Learning Convolutional Neural Network (CBTL-CNN) is used

1.1. Literature Review

In [14], the finite element and texture analysis is used to investigate the feasibility of opportunistic osteoporosis screening in routine contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (RCETA) employing texture analysis (MDCTTA) (FEA). The texture analysis is carried out in order to determine the microarchitecture of the trabecular bone, based on the trabecular bone score. The method is also employed in order to determine the diversity, uniformity, and pattern of the bone microarchitecture, as well as the morphological properties of fundamental bone tissues. CT scan images are fed into MDCTTA, where they are subjected to processes such as texture analysis, vertebrae segmentation, statistical analysis, and fracture classification. When CT scans are used as input, MDCTTA processes provide more accurate findings than other methods. In a time-efficient manner, the MDCTTA approach obtains trustworthy texture information from sagittal reformations. Because MDCTTA’s output is based on correlation, several executions of the process and computing the average of repeated outputs of the operation are required to achieve more precision, which is emphasized as a work limitation.

Osteoporosis based on trabecular bone mineral density can be detected by combining the approach with an isotropic piecewise whittle estimator, an isotropic fractal Brownian motion model, and the oriented fractal investigation for improved bone microarchitecture characterization [15]. Many fractal dimension estimators are tested in this method, including the anisotropic grey-level difference estimator, the anisotropic log-periodogram-based estimator, and the anisotropic wavelet-based estimator, as well as a selected anisotropic fractal Brownian motion model and an anisotropic piecewise whittle estimator. The calcaneus is used to derive the Region of Interest (ROI) from the pictures, which allows for high-accuracy osteoporosis diagnosis by targeting the afflicted bone region. In order to determine the severity of osteoporosis, the OFABMC needs photographs taken in several orientations: 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°. Although the precision of the prediction is a benefit of the OFABMC technique, it is also a constraint because of the longer processing time.

It is intended to function with cone-beam computer tomography (BACBCT) [16] images and is an alternative cone-beam computed tomography approach for the study of bone density around impacted maxillary canines (ACCTM). It has been indented in order to assess the surface area and size of the fractal region in the alveolar bones of the jaws and teeth. The images are cropped to 64 × 64 pixel regions, and a histogram is generated for the ROI that has been selected from the cropped images. For the purpose of determining the location of bone and bone marrow in images, image subtraction, image blurring, image threshold adjustment, value-added image, image dilation, image binarization, and image inversion processes are used. These procedures are carried out with the assistance of the Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Image software. The Gaussian blue function is employed in the image blurring process in order to reduce noise and eliminate soft tissue. When all of these steps are completed, the end product will be a 64 × 64 greyscale picture with black and white pixels. Bone marrow region is represented by the black pixels, while the bone area is represented by the white pixels. It is possible to identify osteoporosis with greater accuracy by measuring the number of black and white pixels. In this study, accuracy is a benefit, while processing time is a restriction owing to the sequence of multiple image processing processes used in this work.

Deep learning-based fully automatic system for segmentation of cervical vertebrae in X-ray images (XSFCV) [17] is developed and tested. A deep fully convolutional neural network is used to locate the spinal region in picture, which is then used to localize the spinal region in the image. Then, using a unique deep probabilistic spatial regression network, the vertebral centers are located and identified. Finally, the vertebrae in the image are segmented using a unique shape-aware deep segmentation network developed by the authors. Using only an X-ray image, the framework may automatically provide a vertebrae segmentation result that does not require any operator interaction. Every component of the fully autonomous system was trained and evaluated using a collection of 124 X-ray pictures obtained from real-world hospital emergency rooms. The training and testing data for the system are available online. It was possible to attain a Dice similarity coefficient of 0.84 and a shape inaccuracy of 1.69 mm by using this method. When only X-ray images are used, the accuracy of FACVSF is excellent; however, when DEXA and CT images are used, the accuracy of FACVSF is significantly reduced. The benefit of the FACVSF approach is its faster processing time; however, the method’s lower accuracy when processing CT images and DEXA is its drawback.

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning that has a substantial influence on the process of acquiring new information. The extraction of more complex data representations and more in-depth information is made feasible via the use of DL. Highly effective deep learning techniques facilitate the discovery of previously obscured information [18]. In order to detect patients with COVID-19 in the early stages of the illness, NASNet, a state-of-the-art pretrained convolutional neural network for image feature extraction, was used. They utilised a local data set that included 10,153 computed tomography images of patients, 190 of whom had COVID-19 and 59 of whom did not have the virus [19]. Coronary artery disease, often known as CAD, is recognized as one of the leading causes of mortality on a global scale. Predicting the risk of coronary heart disease and taking appropriate preventative measures are two ways in which the mortality rate caused by CAD may be lowered. Because using approaches that are based on machine learning (ML) is an effective way for forecasting deaths caused by coronary artery disease (CAD), a significant number of research studies on this topic have been carried out in recent years [20]. A mobile application was also built for screening B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) from non-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients. This application was designed based on the well-planned and optimised model. During the modelling phase of the project, a one-of-a-kind segmentation approach was applied in the colour LAB space to perform colour thresholding. A segmented picture was created by performing the K-means clustering technique and then adding a mask on the images that were clustered. This allowed for the removal of components that were not essential [21].

2. Proposed Method (CBTCNNOD)

CBTCNNOD has three major functional blocks. They are bilinear filter, grey-level zone length matrix, and Channel-Boosted Transfer Learning Convolutional Neural Network (CBTL-CNN). Figure 1 shows the flow diagram of the proposed method CBTCNNOD.

2.1. Preprocessing

In the preprocessing stage of the proposed CBTCNNOD, a bilateral filter is used to preserve the edges of images by smoothening it. A bilateral filter is basically a nonlinear filter which combines the nearby pixels based on their geometric closeness and by their photometric similarities. Bilateral filters work by combining the range and domain and filtering, basically known as traditional, to smoothen the images. The average values of neighboring and similar pixels are calculated, and a pixel value is replaced at a point x. The neighboring pixel values in close vicinity are approximately the same when calculated in a smooth zone. When normalizing this pixel value, it leads to unity.

In a range of images, the bilateral filter [22–24] performs noise removal operation as similar to the ideal filters in their domain.

Two neighboring pixels which are located nearby spatially possess nearby values.

Now, assume a shift-invariant domain filter with low-pass characteristics operating on an image. Its system function is given bywhere the input images and output images are considered to be multiband.

The parameter is used to preserve the DC component of the image. It is given by

Similarly, the system function of range filter is given by

The photometric similarities are measured in range filter. It is given by

In range filtering, image intensities have no importance when calculated from the spatial distribution. However, intensities may be useful when they are combined for whole image. Along with this, it is observed that range filtering can make little change in the image colour map without the use of domain filtering. So, by combining range and domain filtering together, an appropriate solution can be obtained. This is achieved by combining information of geometric and photometric localities.

This combined filtering is given by

It is normalized by

The above-mentioned combined filter is known as bilateral filtering. In smooth zones, the bilateral filter acts as a standard domain filter to perform an average of the small differences between weakly correlated pixel values caused by noise.

The next stage in the proposed method is grey-level zone length matrix (GLZLM) for feature extraction.

2.2. Feature Extraction Using Grey-Level Zone Length Matrix

For extracting features of image, GLZLM [25, 26] is used. It is an advanced statistical matrix used for texture characterization. It is also known as grey-level size zone matrix (GLSZM).

The GLZLM for an image f is denoted by GS_f, where N represents the number of grey levels, which gives detail about the estimation of probability density function of the image distribution. The principle of run length matrix is followed in zone length matrix also. The matrix value GS_f (, ) is same as the number of zones with size and number of grey levels . In the resultant matrix, there will be N number of rows as given by grey levels, and number of columns is calculated based on the largest zone size. Hence, the matrix has a fixed number of rows and dynamic number of columns.

When the texture is more homogeneous, then the matrix will be wider and flatter. ZLM does not require estimation in many directions, in contrast with RLM and the co-occurrence matrix (COM). During the training phase of image classification, many grey-level quantization tests must be done to compute the optimum one.

A particular element (i, j) of GLZLM represents the number of homogeneous zones of j voxels with the intensity “i” in an image and is specified as GLZLM (i, j). The distribution of homogeneous zones with short- and long-range emphasis of an image is given by

Here, H in a volume of interest indicates the number of homogeneous zones.

Similarly, the distribution of homogeneous zones with low and high grey-level emphasis of an image is given by

2.3. Classification Using Transfer Learning-Based CNN

Transfer learning [27, 28] is a technique used to transfer knowledge of the trained model of a large dataset to an unknown model of a small dataset. In convolution neural network, the initial layers are freeze and the last few layers are alone trained with dataset to make the prediction in a proper way. In this work, an enhanced approach of implementing CNN with “Channel Boosting” is introduced. The number of input channels is increased to have better representation of the NN through Channel Boosting. The general model of the Channel-Boosted Transfer Learning-Based CNN (CBTL-CNN) is shown in Figure 2.

There are L numbers of auxiliary learners used in this model to extract input image distribution in local and global invariance. These auxiliary learners can follow any of the generators models, and they select different features from applied input images. The main aim of these auxiliary learners is to extract the complex features from the images so as to improve the input representation of the image dataset in CB-CNN. Sometimes these extracted features are combined to make a clear detail about the image dataset; in some other times, these features replace the actual feature of input images. In the next stage, CNN is trained using transfer learning. This TL-based CB-CNN reduces the training time and improves the generalization.

This TL-based CNN is again trained, and fine tuning is done with channel boosting. This improves the learning capability of the network, and further fine tuning is done. Hence, the classifier representation capability also increases with the help of TL-based CB-CNN.

The proposed method is designed as a framework, which will accept three different types of images such as CT scan, X-ray, and DEXA. With the help of different types of images, the framework will predict the category of osteoporosis with the accuracy for CT scan; DEXA and X-ray images are processed in millimeter (mm) resolution.

in (9) stands for the natural input channels, while is an artificial channel that is produced by the M_th auxiliary learner. On the other hand, (.) is a combiner function that is used to concatenate the primary input channels with the auxiliary channels in order to provide the channel-boosted input for the discrimination. The k^th resultant feature-map is shown by (10), which is created by combining the boosted input with the kernel of the l^th layer.

3. Results and Discussion

Image datasets of 200 users are taken into consideration for testing the classification performance of the proposed method along with previously existing methods. CT images, X-ray images, and dual X-ray images of 200 users are grouped into batches of 20 each. The training dataset of osteoporosis is downloaded from the official website of NCBI [29]. The transfer learning knowledge is developed in server, and the knowledge is transferred to a personal computer over user interface developed using Visual Studio IDE [30]. The user interface screenshot is given in Figure 3.

The proposed method is evaluated with all image batches, and performance metrics such as sensitivity, accuracy, precision, specificity, and average processing time are measured. Average of these metrics is tabulated for every image batch.

3.1. Accuracy

The quality of a chosen classifier algorithm is high as its percent of accuracy rises. The formula is . Percent accuracy of RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, XSFCV, and proposed CBTCNNOD methods is enumerated in Table 1.

It is inferred from Table 1 and Figure 4 that after processing 5 image batches, the accuracy of proposed CBTCNNOD has improved from existing RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV models by 11.32%, 9.85%, 6.47%, and 14.47%, respectively. However, after the 10^th batch processed, accuracy goes up to 10.38%, 10.16%, 7.86%, and 14.32%, respectively, compared to RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV classifiers. The average accuracy of CBTCNNOD outperforms RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV models by 10.87%, 9.35%, 6.98%, and 14.76%, respectively.

3.2. Precision

It is another vital parameter to assess medical image classifiers. It is calculated using the formula .

It is collectively observed from Table 2 and Figure 5 that the precision of the proposed CBTCNNOD has remarkably increased from that of RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV by 11.95%, 8.6%, 9.67%, and 18.01%, respectively, in the case of the first five image batches, whereas after the tenth batch execution, it rises up to 11.09%, 9.08%, 10.01%, and 16.51%, respectively. The average precision of CBTCNNOD has been improved from RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV by 11.61%, 7.15%, 9.13%, and 16.45%, respectively.

3.3. Sensitivity

True positive rate is commonly referred to as either recall or sensitivity. It is a measure to determine the balance between correctly diagnosed images among all input images, making it necessary in automatic diagnostics. The formula to calculate sensitivity is using which results for the proposed model are obtained as shown in Table 3.

At the end of processing first five image batches, it is evident from both Table 3 and Figure 6 that the sensitivity of proposed CBTCNNOD has increased from that of RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV by 10.71%, 10.49%, 4.04%, and 12.05%, respectively. At the end of training the 10^th image batch, sensitivity tops up by 9.77%, 10.74%, 6.20%, and 12.78%, respectively, compared to RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV models. The average sensitivity of CBTCNNOD outperforms RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV by 9.77%, 10.74%, 6.2%, and 12.78%, respectively.

3.4. Specificity

A CNN classifier is characterized by its ability to detect negative results in terms of True negative rate referred to as specificity. Identification of negative results is a very important aspect to aid unambiguous image diagnosis. The specificity is expressed as . Performance analysis of the proposed model exhibited the following specificity values as given in Table 4.

Observations from Table 4 and Figure 7 confirm that the specificity of proposed CBTCNNOD exceeds prevailing models such as RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV by 11.96%, 9.14%, 8.85%, and 16.81% than, respectively, after 5 batches of image classification. As the 10^th batch gets classified, specificity rises by 11.01%, 9.52%, 9.5%, and 15.84%, respectively, during comparison. The average specificity of CBTCNNOD outperforms conventional RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV by 11.01%, 9.52%, 9.5%, and 15.84%, respectively.

3.5. Processing Time

Another significant performance metric is the processing time which is nothing but the total time taken to complete the entire process. This information is received from the user interface (UI), and the average processing times to process a single image are compared in Table 5.

The average processing time of the proposed CBTCNNOD model as per Table 5 and Figure 8 has risen up compared to that of RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV models by 31.53%, 11.06%, 18.47%, and 3.81%, respectively, after executing 5 batches of images. After executing the 10^th image batch, average processing time reduces by 33.26%, 15.53%, 22.97%, and 12.16%, respectively, when compared to RCETA, BMCOFA, BACBCT, and XSFCV models. Thus, the average processing time of the proposed CBTCNNOD model has been reduced appreciably by 33.52%, 17.79%, 23.34%, and 10.86%, respectively. As the proposed model consumes less time, the system efficiency increases significantly.

4. Conclusion

For many years, osteoporosis was regarded as a serious hazard to human civilization, particularly among the elderly. When osteoporosis is detected early, it is possible to dramatically decrease its progression by administering sufficient medications and nutrition. Imaging methods such as X-rays, DEXA scans, and CT scans are used to diagnose and detect osteoporosis at various phases of development. The integrated framework described in this study is intended to aid and automate the diagnosis of osteoporosis utilising all of the imaging modalities mentioned above as well as other imaging techniques. According to the observed findings, the suggested CBTCNNOD technique performed admirably in relation of all of critical assessment parameters. With this level of precision and accuracy in osteoporosis diagnosis, the suggested technique has the potential to be very valuable in the orthomedical profession, allowing it to better serve the general public. The average performance of the metrics such as accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity, and processing time is improved 6.2% to 33.52% when comparing with the existing methods.
