The paper gives an overview of the algorithms developed to obtain reference lines and angles on X-ray images. These geometrical characteristics are used in the medical analysis of human joints. We propose the algorithm’s modifications based on the analysis of numerous X-ray images. These modifications allowed obtaining a great increase in calculation speed and the improvement of final results quality given by the corresponding application. They also lead to a significant reduction of manual tuning of the program, arising only in the rare cases when the properties of given images differ significantly from the mean ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
