Abstract

The early detection of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) using precise or automated detection techniques can improve the quality of life for arthritis patients. In this study, a novel Customized Convolutional Neural Network (CCNN) along with SVM was developed to automatically and accurately identify the SENS score in RA disease. The CCNN-SVM model used 250 radiographs as sample images for identification accuracy. Experiments were conducted comparing the identification results on our self-designed CNN model with standard classifier models as softmax and SVM based on the same image dataset. The system calculates the erosion of joint images called as Erosion Model. The training experiment results with and without data augmentation while keeping the same parameters of the simulation showed that the accuracy of the self-designed CNN with Softmax and CNN with SVM, models were 89%, and 91.22%, respectively. The results confirmed the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed CNN model for automatic SENS scores.
