Abstract |
We are proposing a non-invasive, radiation-free, early stage detection system called the Knee Sound Detector to determine the seriousness of the knee joint condition for osteoarthritis patients. The system is based on sound recordings on the subject's knee. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, which is commonly occurred in knee joint. OA has become the major cause of disability in a many countries. Recent diagnosis methods for example X-Ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Joint Fluid Analysis, and Arthroscopy have several complications such as presence of radiation, To have a non-invasive, radiation-free, early stage detection, and relatively inexpensive approach, a novel Knee Sound Detector has been developed based on sound recording on the medical compartment of subject's knee. |
