Washington [US], December 17 (ANI): Researchers from the University of Jyvaskyla and the Central Finland Health Care District have developed an AI based neural network to detect an early knee osteoarthritis from x-ray images. AI was able to match a doctors' diagnosis in 87 per cent of cases. The result is important because x-rays are the primary diagnostic method for early knee osteoarthritis. An early diagnosis can save the patient from unnecessary examinations, treatments and even knee joint replacement surgery. Osteoarthritis is the most common joint-related ailment globally.
