System and method for providing bounding box to fractured body parts in musculoskeletal x-ray

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system () and method for providing bounding box to fractured body parts in musculoskeletal X-ray images. The system () comprises a memory unit () and processor () with a data collection module () gathering input X-ray data (). Additionally, it includes a fracture detection module () consisting of a segmentation model () and an object detection model (). The segmentation model () determines segmentation scores to each pixel in the X-ray image and generates a segmentation mask () by comparing the segmentation score of each pixel () with a segmentation threshold of a fracture. Simultaneously, the object detection model () determines the rectangular coordinates of one or more body parts within the X-ray image (). The fracture detection module () then overlaps the segmentation mask () with the body part coordinates, resulting in bounding boxes for each fractured body part.
