Improvements of programing methods for finding reference lines on X-ray images

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.The authors are grateful to the experts from Iraq – Al-Abayechi Sinan Adnan (Medicine Iraqi Board of Orthopedic Surgery) and Bassam Faleh Hassan (Medicine Arabic Board of Diagnostic Radiology) who attracted the attention to this investigation. They provided us with X-ray materials, gave important advice connected with the implementation and discussed the obtained results

Novel approach of simplification detected contours on X-ray medical images

This paper gives description of a method for simplifying the number of points representing detected contours of the bones on digital X-ray images. Such simplification permits simplify way for correction the location of these points in the cases, if the analyzed image has poor quality, and to reduces the time of analysis it to get the reference lines and angles for diagnosis purposes of the area under investigation
