Analysis of X-Ray Images with Image Processing Techniques: A Review

Abstract

Human body suffers from various problems it consists of different parts such as legs, hands, bones, bones get cracked or discontinuity most of the times due to pressure applied on it which may be due to the accident, sports while playing etc. Osteoporosis is one of the major problems occurs due to extra use of bones radiologist suggests the patients take x-ray images of the bones for diagnosis purpose. This study is a tutorial review on medical imaging processing and repository techniques appeared in the literature. Many times, it is difficult and time-consuming to find out the location of fracture in the patient who is suffering from pain. Today medical imaging technique played the significant role in research and diagnosis field. X-ray imaging technique is used to diagnose and also used to represent anatomical structures such as bones, in human beings. This paper is a tutorial review of X-ray imaging technique which is used to detect bone fractures and then the obtained image is processed by different image processing methods such as Computer Aided Diagnosis, Edge Detection, segmentation which are beneficial for technicians.
