Final Year Project

Project Title

Abnormality Detection in Musculoskeletal Radiographs

Description

The focus of my project is the usage of artificial intelligence in medicine. I’m working on a predictive machine learning model that is able to tell if an X-ray study is abnormal or normal. Each study has one or more X-ray images belonging to a particular body part. In the case of multiple X-ray images, each image looks at the body part from a different angle. The model then outputs the probability of that study being abnormal. The architecture that I use to predict the label is an ensemble of different Convolutional Neural Network models. This classifier is then extended into a detector using Class Activation Mappings that can identify the part of the X-ray image that has the abnormality
