Survey: Automatic Recognition of Musculoskeletal Disorders from Radiographs

Automatic Recognition of Musculoskeletal Disorders is one of the important applications of computers in clinical medicine. Radiographs must be classified as normal or abnormal. There is a critical need for fast and inexpensive but reliable automatic classification systems should be satisfied. It is desired to discriminate between the various types of musculoskeletal disorders. Different approaches have been proposed recently in the field of pattern-recognition. Our proposed paper introduces a detailed survey on up-to-date published papers specialized in this point of research.
