Diagnosing Musculoskeletal Conditions using Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning to Aid Interpretation of Clinical Imaging

Bone deformations can lead to musculoskeletal disorders and negatively impact on individual quality of life. Early and accurate detection of bone deformation is crucial for effective medical intervention. Diagnosing Musculoskeletal Conditions Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Aid Interpretation of Clinical Imaging outlines a comprehensive approach that integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to identify bone deformations promptly and accurately. By leveraging advanced image analysis and pattern recognition, this approach aims to revolutionize the field of orthopedic diagnostics. This book covers challenges, technologies, applications, and future trends of AI and ML in Bone Deformation, addressing advanced and innovative techniques, frameworks, methodologies, and practical implementations of machine learning to get early predictions of Bone deformation. Written by experts in the field for researchers, surgeons, students, and instructors interested in musculoskeletal conditions.
