Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common long-lasting ailment characterized by joint degradation, impacting millions worldwide and posing significant challenges in early detection and management. Radiographic assessment, particularly through the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading scheme, serves as a cornerstone for diagnosis and disease monitoring. However, the subjective nature of visual examination, coupled with the expertise-dependent interpretation, often leads to variations in grading accuracy and delays in intervention. This study introduces an enhanced Computer-Aided Diagnostic (CAD) system framework leveraging Adaptive Pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for rapid and precise classification of KOA severity based on KL grading By learning on large-scale datasets, transfer learning is utilized to create robust representations, which helps to mitigate the difficulties brought on by the scarcity of medical data. The performance of these transfer learning is enhanced by introducing adaptability to refining through partial fine-tuning of the layers to accommodate the specific nuances of KOA grading. The effectivity of the proposed enhancement is evaluated by using an extensive experimental setup in which eight pretrained CNN models, namely NasNetLarge, InceptionV3, DenseNet169, ResNet152V2, NasNetMobile, ResNet50V2, ResNet101V2 and InceptionResNetV2 are used for KOA using KL grading in clinical scenario. The proposed enhanced approach is applied on Kaggle X-ray data sets repository. The method demonstrates promising results in accurately classifying KOA severity, offering a significant advancement towards early detection and personalized management strategies. The results show that NasNetLarge is the most efficient model, with a validation accuracy of 98.8%, training accuracy of 98.3% and precision of 99.7%. By combining pretrained CNN models and transfer learning with partial fine-tuning, the proposed framework facilitates rapid and cost-effective diagnosis, contributing to early diagnosis and help to reduce progression.
