Abstract

In this paper, a two stage method is proposed for bone image abnormality detection. The core idea of this method is based on our observation and analysis of the abnormal images. The abnormal images are divided into two categories: one is the abnormal images containing abnormal objects, the other is the abnormal images of the bone with inconspicuous lesions. The abnormal images containing abnormal objects are easy to be classified, so that we can focus on the abnormal images which are difficult to classify. The proposed two stage method enables the classifier to extract better features and learn better classification parameters for the abnormal images that are difficult to classify. We carried out experiments on a large-scale X-ray dataset MURA. SENet154 and DenseNet201 are used as the classification networks. Compare to one stage method, the proposed method can improve test accuracies by 1.71% (SENet154) and 1.43% (DenseNet201), respectively, which shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
