Osteoporosis is becoming an epidemic in the urban population due to improper diet, unhealthy food and lifestyle and minimum exposure to sun which results in low Vitamin D metabolism in the body. Osteoporosis causes depletion of the bone mass which eventually results in weakening of the bones. This weak bone leads to minor to severe cracks and fractures in the bones. Detecting such minor fractures at the early stage from the X-Ray images is a significant challenge for the Orthopedics. In this work we propose a unique machine learning technique to detect early stage bone fracture caused by Osteoporosis using machine learning and image processing techniques by combining image preprocessing, segmentation and segmented ROI classification techniques.
