X-ray Image Processing on Bone Fracture, Healing and Cure Analysis Using Matlab

Image Processing based computerized expert system has been developed in the context of fracture treatment of patient. The tibia fracture has been taken into account for various possibilities of the cure analysis. Callus formation along with the Patient tenderness jointly signifies the treatment. The concept of fuzzification between the callus formation between fragment of broken bones and other parameters of patient clinical status have been considered for decision making system. The Callus Formation is identified by edge blurriness and gap filling between cortical gaps of bones. Intensity change has been quantified by portion of normal and broken bone in order to find the healing .Various treatment methods to fracture have been depicted by patient’s stiffness, pain, movement and deformity along with the callus intensity change creating fuzzy logic.
